We are seeking a neuroscientist with a strong background in visual and/or circadian biology to work as part of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute (SCNi) within the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN). The research interests of the SCNi are to: (A) Understand the neural mechanisms that generate and regulate sleep and circadian biology (B) Define the mechanistic links between sleep/circadian rhythm disruption and disorders of the central nervous system and © Apply this knowledge for the development of evidence-based clinical interventions.
The successful candidate will be responsible for leading a specific research project entitled ‘Investigating the multiple roles of cryptochromes in animal magnetoreception’ which will be based within the SCNi. They will work closely with Prof Stuart Peirson ( https://www.ndcn.ox.ac.uk/team/stuart-peirson) and Mark Hankins ( https://www.ndcn.ox.ac.uk/team/mark-hankins).
