The Role: The position is for an electrophysiologist with experience in in vitro recording techniques to undertake research into the neurophysiology of the medial prefrontal cortex. It aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying dendritic integration and synaptic plasticity in the prefrontal cortex. It will also involve examining the intrinsic circuitry of this structure. Understanding these features will pave the way to understanding the functioning on the prefrontal cortex, and its role in neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, depression and ADHD.
The Person: Applicants should possess a PhD and have Experience with electrophysiological recordings using sharp or whole cell microelectrodes. Experience with dendritic patch clamp recordings from neurons in acute brain slices would be an advantage
Remuneration: This is a full-time, fixed term appointment for up to 2 years (with the possibility of extension) at Academic Research Level A. The remuneration package will be in the range of $60,391 to $64,827 PLUS employer superannuation contributions of 17%.
