This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a BBSRC funded project in Neural Engineering with a focus on understanding neural computation. The Neural Coding Laboratory at Imperial College London is developing cutting edge optical and opto-electrophysiological technology for studying how information is encoded and processed in mammalian cortical circuits. This project will involve using a novel tool for two-photon targeted electrophysiology to obtain recordings from multiple, genetically targeted neuronal cell types simultaneously. The ultimate aim of this work is to understand the general principles underlying the information processing operations performed by the mammalian cortical circuit. Candidates must be in the possession of a doctoral degree or equivalent in neuroscience, physics, engineering or a related topic. Experience in whole-cell patch clamp electrophysiology or in vivo two-photon microscopy is a requirement. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong experimental background, and experience in quantitative neurophysiological data analysis using MATLAB. The ideal candidate would be a “tool developer” as well as “tool user”. This full-time post is available from the 1 April 2013 or as soon as possible thereafter. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr S Schultz, email: s.schultz@imperial.ac.uk. Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
