CMVM / Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
Full-time: 35 hours per week
Fixed-term: 2 years in the first instance
We are looking for a postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the Rajani Lab as part of the new national BHF-UK DRI Centre for Vascular Dementia Research.
The Opportunity:
The Rajani Lab investigates the mechanisms of white matter damage in vascular and other dementias. We use a range of innovative methodologies and models to understand oligodendrocyte changes in vascular disease, and the interaction of these with neuronal activity. In this project the Research Fellow will use advanced techniques to investigate and manipulate neuronal activity in rodent models of vascular dementia, with the aim of understanding how this affects white matter.
Your skills and attributes for success:
A PhD (or close to completion) in neuroscience or other relevant discipline.
Extensive experience with in vivo two-photon calcium imaging.
Ability to work independently.
Proactive and creative independent thinker.
Ability to problem-solve and troubleshoot technical difficulties.
Informal enquiries regarding the role can be addressed to Dr Rikesh Rajani (rikesh.rajani@ed.ac.uk).
