Job description

Overview

Grade UE07: £41,064 to £48,822 per annum

CMVM / School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences / Institute for Neuroscience and Cardiovascular Research

Full-time: 35 hours per week

Fixed-term: 13 months

The Opportunity

Conduct original research on neuronal networks underlying the processing of natural visual stimuli, using in vivo large-scale two-photon calcium imaging and virtual reality in awake behaving mice.

Analyse in vivo large-scale two-photon calcium imaging data sets combined with behavioural data (pupil diameter, speed, motor movements).

This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
