At least two years of postdoctoral experience in patch clamp recording is essential. Experience in brain slice techniques, imaging, histochemical or electronmicroscopy techniques would be an advantage but not essential. The salary is dependent on experience up to 29,396 p.a. The candidate will examine the role of impulse activity in axonal degeneration in inflammatory demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. Useful experience includes extracellular or intracellular electrophysiological techniques, neuropathology and histology.
Salary commensurate with experience.
Please include your CV and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of 3 referees. Closing date 15th December 2000. Students will spend the first year learning a wide range of neuroscience techniques by doing 3 month projects in different laboratories, before choosing a full research project and supervisor for the subsequent 3 years. Projects available cover the whole range of neuroscience, from molecular biology through cellular mechanisms to systems neuroscience. Non-UK applicants may apply, and if successful will receive the normal stipend, but fees will only be paid at the EU rate.
