英国伦敦大学学院医学物理与生物医学工程系博士后职位—神经科学

伦敦大学学院（University College London，简称：UCL），位于英国伦敦，是一所公立研究型大学，也是第一所在伦敦成立的大学。学校是罗素大学集团和欧洲研究型大学联盟的成员，被誉为金三角名校之一。

伦敦大学学院于1826年2月11日正式成立，前身为伦敦大学，由于没有获得皇家宪章，它最初是作为股份公司成立的。1836年11月28日，学校获得皇家宪章，并更名为伦敦大学学院。同一天，一所新的伦敦大学成立，而且有权向该学校的学生授予医学、艺术和法律学位。1907年，学校根据1905年《伦敦大学学院（转让）法案》并入伦敦大学，更名为伦敦大学·大学学院，随后于1977年12月9日从伦敦大学中分离出来，并根据1979年《伦敦大学学院法案》重组为伦敦大学学院。2005年，伦敦大学学院获得了自行颁授独立学位的权力，不再使用伦敦大学的名义。

Post-doctoral Research Associate in Neuroscience

Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, University College London

Deadline:

23 August 2024

About the role

Applications are invited for a Post-doctoral Research Associate in Neuroscience position to join the EIT and Neurophysiology Lab in the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at UCL. The position is part of a project funded by the UK Medical Research Council which involves delineating the organisation and composition of the vagus nerve of humans to allow for selective electrical stimulation to treat diseases.

The post offers a unique opportunity to conduct research at an internationally leading university and contribute to the advancements in selective neuromodulation. Prof. Holder's research group is internationally recognised for its pioneering work in neural engineering. The appointed person will work in a multidisciplinary team of engineers, physiologists, doctors and physicists and collaborate with other teams in the consortium.

The postholder will be required to carry out research in the area of peripheral/autonomic nerve imaging and neuromodulation, including designing and running experiments, recording, analysing, and writing up the results. The role will involve ex vivo imaging and mapping of human vagus nerves, histological section preparation, staining, immunohistochemistry, microCT imaging, image processing, data acquisition, analysis, and dissemination of findings. They may also participate in in vivo physiological studies using novel multi-electrode nerve cuffs and Electrical Impedance Tomography. The role includes preparing and presenting findings to colleagues, drafting and submitting papers to peer-reviewed journals, preparing progress reports for funding bodies, and contributing to the overall activities of the research team and department.

For more information about this role, please see the Job Description and Person Specification at the bottom of the page and contact nicole.thompson@ucl.ac.uk should you require further information.

This is a fixed-term role for three years from the start date in the first instance. The role is available to start at the earliest convenience.
