£42,694 per annum Overall purpose: To work within the group of Dr Joergen Kornfeld at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB), within a programme aimed at understanding how behaviours are encoded in the brain's synaptic networks. Specifically, to develop novel approaches for large-scale connectomics and to apply them to map and analyse the synaptic connections (connectome) within vertebrate and invertebrate brains. The ultimate goal is to link these synaptic networks to specific behavioural outputs, providing mechanistic insights into how learned behaviours are maintained and accessed. The post is part of a collaboration between the Kornfeld and Jefferis groups at the LMB, and the project will be jointly supervised by Dr Joergen Kornfeld and Dr Greg Jefferis. Main Duties: • To undertake research aimed at mapping and analysing the synaptic connections that underpin complex behaviours. • To identify, develop, and apply a broad range of experimental techniques,...
