The School of Life Sciences (SLS) wishes to appoint an excellent and ambitious principal investigator working in experimental mammalian neuroscience to join our existing Neuroscience Research Cluster based in the purpose-built £54m Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Building (IBRB).
The Neuroscience Research Cluster has strengths in these areas and is seeking a colleague with an independent research program capable of integrating with the existing research-active staff. You will benefit from the provision of high-quality research administrative support and research infrastructure within the School of Life Sciences and the IBRB, and also via the University of Warwick’s flagship Research Technology Platforms, which includes advanced bioimaging, proteomics and mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics. In addition, you will be positioned to attract PhD students from the several large Doctoral Training Programs at Warwick that recruit students with interests in neuroscience. In addition to developing your research profile, you will be expected to contribute to and develop various undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programs, in particular the BSc/MBio in Neuroscience, in areas that reflect your research expertise and interests.
About You
Candidates with a strong track record in mammalian neuroscience are welcome to apply but particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to, neurodegeneration & brain injury; stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions; control of neural circuits, epilepsy and pain.
