Postdoctoral Scientist - Neurobiology - Dr Sven Truckenbrodt

We are seeking a scientist excited about tackling long-standing problems in neuroscience by designing technology to unlock "molecular connectomics" datasets with multimodal molecular information across scales and functional dimensions. You will develop new technologies that support this goal and extend our capabilities to integrate additional information channels. You will also use and further develop expansion microscopy for optical connectomics as well as apply a variety of existing molecular tools to read out multiple information channels covering all classes of biomolecules and states of cellular function. This work supports our aim of understanding animal behaviour mechanistically from the molecular and connectomics layer up. You should hold a PhD in neuroscience, molecular biology, biotechnology or a related field, or due to complete one within 6 months, or be able to evidence equivalent experience and qualifications.

The LMB has a collaborative working culture and state-of-the-art building on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. We have on-site parking, cycle enclosures and excellent public transport links to the site. We have a staff restaurant with roof terrace and access to a Campus nursery and sports and social facilities. You will be eligible to join our defined benefit pension scheme, a holiday entitlement of 40.5 days per annum (including bank holidays and privilege days) and a generous employee discount scheme. We are also committed to providing training and development opportunities including support towards role-related qualifications.
