POSTDOC IN NEUROMODULATION IN PD

A Postdoc position is available at the GlioMatrix Lab at ACHUCARRO BASQUE CENTER FOR NEUROSCIENCE in Bilbao (Spain).
The contract is for 2 years.
The selected candidate will join a collaborative multidisciplinary project, as part of a national (Spanish) consortium aiming to achieve neurostimulation in deep areas of the brain through non-invasive approaches.
The candidate would participate, specifically, in a sub-project led by Dr.
Federico N.
Soria, aimed to mimic dopaminergic modulation of striatal neurons with plasmonic and magnetic nanoparticles.
The project employs animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD), in vivo electrophysiology and calcium imaging, motor behavior and histological analysis.
The candidate will join a thriving neuroscience research center, with state-of-the-art facilities.
working closely with neurobiologists, chemists, physicists and engineers SUMMARY INFORMATION Application deadline.
