Description
- Oggetto:
Postdoc MRC Harwell Institute - Molecular Neurobiology
- Description: We are seeking an ambitious postdoctoral researcher who is already highly skilled in cell biology to join the Molecular Neurobiology Programme at the MRC Harwell Institute headed by Peter Oliver, Associate Professor of Neuroscience. The group studies novel cellular and mouse models of neurological disease, and the successful applicant will use a combination of approaches to investigate molecular mechanisms of neuronal cell death and dysfunction. This project will join a well-established project studying a family of proteins mutated in a group of inherited neurological disorders that also control the response of neurons to cellular stress (e.g. PMID 31642482, 30335140 and 25792726). Therefore, these research plans provide an excellent opportunity for a highly-motivated cellular/molecular biologist; specifically, the candidate should have a proven track-record in primary cell culture and microscopy with a keen interest in studying rodent models of neurodegeneration, neurodevelopment and/or epilepsy combining molecular, cellular and electrophysiological approaches.
This is an exciting and challenging position and the successful candidate will work alongside the PI and a Senior Investigator Scientist with the opportunity to co-supervise and assist PhD students, with full support from the state-of-the-art facilities for cell biology, physiology and mouse phenotyping offered by MRC Harwell.
