Two Postdoctoral Positions at the Australian National University

Posted on September 28, 2018 by Joan SimSeptember 28, 2018

Cellular neurophysiology of the olfactory cortex

Two postdoctoral positions are available at the Australian National University to conduct fundamental research on how olfactory information is processed by the primary olfactory (piriform) cortex.  Projects include the use of an endoscope to image olfactory plasticity in behaving mice, and using in vivo patch clamping and 2-photon microscopy to study dendritic electrogenesis.

You will join the dynamic, collaborative research environment provided by the Eccles Institute of Neuroscience, which is part of the John Curtin School of Medical Research, one of the world’s top medical research institutes.

You must have a PhD in neuroscience, a strong record of research achievement, and demonstrated experience in the key techniques of cellular neurophysiology.  Both positions are for up to 3 years in the first instance, with the possibility of extension.  The salary is A$71,509 – A$90,215 p.a. plus 17% superannuation and 4 weeks of paid annual leave.

For further information, please contact Prof John Bekkers <John.Bekkers@anu.edu.au>.

To apply, go to <http://jobs.anu.edu.au> and search for “526258” or “olfaction”.  Application deadline: October 1st, 2018.

Due to the short notice, interested applicants may write in directly to Prof John Bekkers after the deadline for consideration.

The Australian National University (ANU) is one of the world’s foremost research universities. Distinguished by its relentless pursuit of excellence, the University attracts leading academics and outstanding students from Australia and around the world. The John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR), located on the ANU campus, is one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious medical research institutes. The Eccles Institute of Neuroscience, a Department of JCSMR, contains more than a dozen independent research groups working in areas such as synaptic transmission, sensory processing, neural development and the retina, with expertise in electrophysiology, behavior, advanced optical techniques (optogenetics & 2-photon), neural modeling and molecular genetics. This research is being carried out both ‘in vitro’ and ‘in vivo’. The Eccles Institute provides staff and students with an exceptional environment for research on brain function, with a cellular focus and an emphasis on signal processing in sensory systems.
