The School has received substantial recent University investment and is embarking on an exciting and extensive, muti-million pound refurbishment and improvement project.

A Research Fellow position is available in the laboratory of Tom Baden to work on establishing expression of fluorescent reporters of neural activity in avian retina using viruses.

We will adapt the adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector approach (widely used in mammalian studies) to express calcium indicators in bird retinal neurons. It will be followed by 2-photon imaging and recording from neurons in isolated avian retina.

The project will involve both experiments and computer-based analysis.
