We are recruiting to a new Wellcome Trust funded Collaborative award that brings together a cross- disciplinary team of international experts to investigate the role of GABAergic inhibition in regulating brain network dynamics for adaptive behaviour. The work programme bridges work across species (mice, humans) and scales (local circuits, global networks) to uncover the network and neurochemical mechanisms that support learning and brain plasticity. The work capitalizes on cutting-edge methodological developments in the highly interdisciplinary team: a) human and animal ultra-high-field MR Spectroscopy and functional brain imaging (Emir lab, Purdue; Kourtzi lab, Cambridge), b) neuro Engineering tools including optical GABA sensors (Looger lab: UCSD) and electrophoretic drug delivery (Malliaras lab, Cambridge), cellular imaging, optogenetics, electrophysiology neuropharmacology (Paulsen, Dalley, Poort labs, Cambridge; Rusakov lab: UCL).
This specific post will advance and utilize the ultra-high resolution and ultra-short echo time MR(S)I using novel methods pioneered by Uzay Emir (Purdue) and will seek to adapt and deploy them in the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre and Translational Neuroimaging Laboratory in Cambridge, UK. Successful applicants will be integrated in a diverse collaborative team and will have the opportunity to participate in workshops and retreats across the network as well as exchange visits across labs to facilitate cross-disciplinary training and collaborative working.
