Full job description

Grade UE07: £41,064 - £48,822 per annum

College of Science and Engineering / School of Biological Sciences / Institute for Stem Cell Research / Institute for Regeneration and Repair / Centre for Regenerative Medicine

Full-time: 35 hours per week

Fixed-term: 36 months

The Opportunity:

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to study mammalian brain regeneration. The post holder will be part of a Brain Research UK research project between The University of Edinburgh, ETH Zurich and the University of Basel investigating how adult neural stem cells and other glial cells respond to a focal injury and drive tissue regeneration in the spiny mouse – the only mammal known to rebuild complex tissues after substantial damage. The post holder will use single-cell genomics, develop novel brain injury models, and perform cross-species comparisons to pinpoint exactly what sets spiny mice apart from other mammals, including humans, whose regenerative capacity is much more limited. The post holder will be embedded within a highly collaborative team and have outstanding scope to drive discovery at the interface of regeneration and neuroscience, and to make findings with potential to inform new strategies for repairing the human brain.

Your skills and attributes for success:

A PhD in regenerative biology, neurobiology/neuroscience or similar;
Experience in animal work including stereotaxic surgery;
Experimental design experience and expertise;
Strong communication and interpersonal skills;

This post is full-time (35 hours per week).
