Overview
We are seeking two Post-doctoral Research Associates to work on circadian rhythms and sleep in mouse models of Huntington's disease. You will join an interdisciplinary research team that is interested in understanding neurological dysfunction in Huntington's disease. The group is led by Professor Jenny Morton, and is based in the Department of Pharmacology and the Sub-Department of Animal Behaviour, University of Cambridge.
Vacancy Reference No: PL07646 Salary: £27,319-£35,646
The research project will focus on sleep and circadian rhythm dysfunction in fragment (R6/2) and full-length knockin and neurochemical mouse models of Huntington's disease. The project will involve the use of automated behavioural monitoring systems (circadian rhythm boxes) and EEG telemetry (Neurologger). Training in the use of these systems will be given.
The successful applicant will be a careful and methodical worker who is self-motivated and able to conduct experiments and analyse data independently. Careful observation skills and accurate record keeping are essential. The post will require some weekend work and a flexible approach to working hours.
Applicants should have a PhD in Neuroscience, preferably with a background in circadian rhythms or sleep. Applicants should hold a Home Office personal licence. Experience with Matlab, Clocklab, EEG telemetry and recovery surgery is highly desirable.
*These are full-time post for two years. Both posts have negotiable start dates. One is available immediately, the other is to start after the 1st June 2011.
Applications, including a covering letter, CV and a completed CHRIS 6 coversheet (available from http://www.phar.cam.ac.uk/jobs/jobs_dept.html) along with the names of 3 referees should be sent by e-mail to Mrs V Searle (vs274@cam.ac.uk). For further information e mail Professor Jenny Morton (ajm41@cam.ac.uk)
* Limit of tenure: 2 years.
Closing date: 11 February 2011. Planned Interview dates: 08/03/2011.
