We are looking for a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on a ERC funded project investigating the links between gut microbiota and brain function in humans. The researcher will be joining a dynamic team of neuroscientists and microbiologists.
The aim of this project is to test if different populations of gut bacteria influence upon specific aspects of brain function and behaviour. Brain and behavioural function will be measured using a set of techniques including Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, and Psychophysics. The postholder will be responsible for the brain and behavioural aspects of the project, and is expected to contribute to the design of the experiments, data collection, as well as the analysis of data. The postholder will be expected to present the results of the study in conferences and peer-reviewed publications. The project presents a significant hands-on opportunity to learn about the emerging field of gut-brain interactions in humans, and multiple relevant techniques. The appointed individual will receive strong mentoring from established scholars as part of this project and be supported in developing new ideas.
