Research Assistant Job Advert

Applications are invited for two Research Assistant positions in our lab. Each position focuses on a distinct aspect of our research:

• The first position investigates the organisation of neural circuits in the head direction system, employing patch-clamp recordings in brain slices, optogenetics, and neural tracing.

• The second position focuses on developing and testing open-source software for analysing animal behaviour, as well as enhancing the lab’s behavioural acquisition program. There will also be opportunities to gain in vivo experimental skills.

Both roles are ideal for candidates seeking a long-term commitment and planning to pursue a PhD in the lab. For exceptional candidates, there is the possibility of a funded PhD.

The positions are available from March 2025 and are offered for one year in the first instance.

The closing date for applications is 21 February 2025.
