Posted by SFG, on 1 October 2015
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Neuroscience : Oxford, United Kingdom
Salary: Grade 7: £30,434 – £37,394 p.a.
Stephen Goodwin’s lab, based at the Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, are looking to appoint a postdoctoral research scientist to work on a project entitled “Genetic Dissection of Sexual Behaviour”.
Professor Goodwin and his group use Drosophila courtship behaviour to study how sex-specific neural circuitry and behaviours are established during development by the action of complex networks of genes. The aim of the study is to understand how activity in functioning dimorphic neural circuits gives rise to a different sex-specific behavioural repertoire in the male and female fly.
The successful applicant will have a PhD in neuroscience, and experience with the study of behaviour would be desirable. Candidates must have an emerging publication record and a proven ability to communicate their work. Good organisational skills and a willingness to work as part of a team are essential.
The post is fixed-term and Wellcome Trust funded for 3 years and is based at the Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, University of Oxford, Tinsley Building, Mansfield Road, Oxford, OX1 3SR.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 2 November 2015.
Please send a CV, letter of motivation, and at least two letters of recommendation to Prof Stephen Goodwin (stephen.goodwin@cncb.ox.ac.uk).
