About this role
The Neuronal Oscillations Group (NOG) is a neuroscience group based in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge. Our research focuses on the relationship between network oscillations and synaptic plasticity. We are an inclusive and welcoming group, committed to mentoring and supporting the career development of all members. We are looking for a postdoctoral research associate in a short-term appointment to investigate the mechanisms underlying spike timing-dependent plasticity in the hippocampus. You will be the key person to apply whole-cell recording in hippocampal slices during induction of timing-dependent long-term potentiation (t-LTP) and timing-dependent long-term depression (t-LTD). Candidates should have completed a PhD or be about to complete a PhD. They would be able to prepare high-quality brain slices from the mouse hippocampus, perform whole-cell recording from individual hippocampal neurons during electrical stimulation...
