We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate to join an Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) funded project. The project aims to develop minimally invasive multiplexed temporal interference brain stimulation technology. The project is led by Dr Nir Grossman, who invites applications from talented, highly motivated and creative postdoctoral scientists to take a leading role demonstrating the approach in animal models.
The Interventional Systems Neuroscience Group, led by Dr Nir Grossman invents tools to non-invasively control neural activity, discover mechanisms to boost activity-dependent cellular homeostasis and cognitive functions, and translate the tools and principles to disease-modifying interventions for dementia. Our multidisciplinary team includes physicists, mathematicians, engineers, neuroscientists, and clinicians and has close collaborations with dozens of labs worldwide. We are seeking an outstanding post-doctoral researcher interested in taking on a challenging role with considerable scope for independent scientific achievement and personal growth. Building on prior in vivo experience, you will join a team exploring technology capable of precisely stimulating multiple deep brain regions implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. These include structures such as the substantia nigra which is affected in Parkinson’s.

About you
- You will be a motivated and organised researcher, excited by the science we do.
- You will hold (or be near completion of) a PhD in neuroscience (or related discipline).
- Experience of in vivo mouse experiments, (recovery and/or non-recovery procedures), including surgery, in vivo measurements, and colony management
- Experience of immunohistochemical characterisation (perfusion, staining, and imaging)
- Experience with in 1) neuromodulation/ brain stimulation, 2) rodents’ electrophysiological recording, and/or 3) rodents’ cognitive assessment would be highly desirable
