Topic: molecular tools

Investigate how neural circuits generate and regulate behaviour in model organisms. The search emphasizes large-scale measurements and perturbations of neural activity, molecular tools, functional recording and complex behaviours in naturalistic environments. The successful scholar joins Biology or Psychological and Brain Sciences, develops independent research and teaches and mentors students. Priority review is 15 November 2026.

Investigate uncharacterised biological systems such as Fanzor and TIGR-Tas and engineer them as molecular tools. Research approaches include cryo-electron microscopy, molecular phylogenetics and sequencing-based functional analysis.
