Dr Elisa Galliano

We are looking for a highly motivated, proactive and enthusiastic engineer for designing and building customized cages for rodent behavioural testing. This project is collaboration with the laboratories led by Jasper Poort (visual processing, PDN Department ) and Chris Proctor (bionic systems, Engineering department) groups, and aims at generating a multipurpose automatic apparatus for flexible operant conditioning across multiple sensory modalities (chiefly olfaction and vision). You will be the key person to liaise with original developers, source components, assemble and validate the apparatus, and design a data analysis pipeline. You will work in collaboration with other lab members and the ability to work in a team is essential. Moreover, you will be shadowed by an undergraduate student assigned to this project, which you will be co-supervising.
