Neuroscience Researcher
4 days ago
This position offers a fully funded 4-year PhD Fellowship in the School of Veterinary Medicine at University College Dublin, Ireland.
The project represents an exciting opportunity to develop chronic closed-loop cortical stimulation for the treatment of Parkinson's disease in a rodent model.
While deep brain stimulation is an established treatment for the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, it has several limitations, including a small eligible patient population, side effects, lengthy device programming, and regular battery replacement surgeries.
This project addresses these limitations by combining a novel stimulation target with closed-loop stimulation.
During this project, you will study an alternative location for brain stimulation in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Your work will focus on developing long-term stimulation in vivo in rats that express symptoms of Parkinson's disease after neurotoxin injection into the dopaminergic basal ganglia circuit.
Ultimately, closed-loop cortical stimulation will be implemented, where the stimulation delivered is adapted to a disease-relevant biomarker.
Required Skills and QualificationsCandidates for this position should have a 2.1 or higher Bachelor's degree from a relevant biological discipline such as neuroscience, physiology, medicine, veterinary medicine, or a closely related area.
A Master (or equivalent) in neuroscience, physiology, or a closely related area is of advantage.
The ideal candidate has experience in a selection from the following techniques: electrophysiology, animal models of Parkinson's disease, behavioral laboratory animal tests, brain stimulation, and surgical skills.
While training in all techniques will be supplied, a willingness and enthusiasm to perform complex in vivo research is required.
Candidates should have excellent communication and organizational skills; be highly motivated and passionate about neuroscience and developing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases; and have strong written, oral, and interpersonal skills.
