Postdoctoral Research Associate in In Vivo Fibre Photometry for Metabolic Neuroscience

A 2-year fixed-term postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr Clémence Blouet at the Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science, University of Cambridge. The project investigates how the brain detects glucose availability and regulates glucose homeostasis, with a focus on glucose-sensing neurons and circuits. The successful candidate will conduct in vivo fibre photometry in freely moving mice, stereotaxic surgeries, behavioral and metabolic assessments, and data analysis. Applicants must hold (or be close to completing) a PhD in neuroscience, physiology, or a related field, and have hands-on experience with fibre photometry, ex vivo electrophysiology, stereotaxic surgery, and mouse brain histology. The position offers a competitive salary (£38,448–£46,970) and the opportunity to contribute to high-impact research in a world-class environment.
