Postdoctoral Fellow - P Znamenskiy lab

The Francis Crick Institute is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Znamenskiy lab. The successful candidate will investigate the relationship between the in vivo function, synaptic organization, and molecular identity of cortical neurons. The project will apply multiphoton calcium imaging to profile neuronal responses in virtual reality, correlative in situ sequencing to relate molecular identity of single neurons to their in vivo responses, and molecular connectomics to resolve the synaptic inputs of hundreds of neurons simultaneously.

Requirements

• PhD in Neuroscience or a related field
• Experience in coding in Python or MATLAB
• Experience with in vivo calcium imaging or electrophysiology

Benefits

• Generous Leave: 28 days of annual leave, plus three additional days over Christmas and bank holidays.
• Pension Scheme: Defined contribution pension with employer contributions of up to 16%
• 24/7 GP consultation services.
• Occupational health services and mental health support programs.
