Ataxia UK-funded PhD position using in vitro electrophysiology , University of Reading
Therapeutic potential of modulators of cannabinoid receptors in cerebellar ataxias
Ataxia UK-funded PhD position using in vitro electrophysiology (3 years)
Applications are invited for a fully funded, 3-year PhD position within a vibrant and expanding research group in the School of Pharmacy, University of Reading under the supervision of Dr Gary Stephens and Dr Ben Whalley.
The project will use in vitro electrophysiology (including patch clamp and multi-electrode recording) and pharmacology from native neurones in cerebellar brain slices. The project aims to determine how modulation of cannabinoid receptors may ameliorate the progression of ataxia, a neurodegenerative disease associated with motor deficits that currently has no therapeutic treatment. The project will involve investigation of cannabinoid effects on different ‘ataxic’ mice models.
Candidates should hold (or expect to gain) a 2(i) grade at BSc level in an appropriate Biological Science (or closely related area). Prior laboratory experience is advantageous.
Interested researchers are invited to apply for this position that is available from 1st October 2008 in the Faculty of Life Sciences, which consists of five schools, conducting cutting edge research in cell signalling, pharmacology and pharmacy.
Starting salary will be at standard University of Reading stipend level. Closing date is August 31st 2008.
Applicants should send a CV and names of two academic referees to g.j.stephens@reading.ac.uk (Tel. 0118 378 6156).
