Post-doctoral Position, University of Guelph, Canada: High-throughput behavioural platform to advance neurodegenerative disease drug discovery
A postdoctoral position is available to conduct research related to transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We are looking to hire someone to begin as soon as possible.
The proposed studies, funded by a grant from the W. Garfield Weston Foundation, will compare cognitive abilities in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease using novel touchscreen tasks. The project aims to identify common cognitive deficits in murine models and to establish standardized, replicable cognitive testing methods using touchscreens at two research sites: Western University in London, Ontario and the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario.
The successful applicant will be based at the University of Guelph in the Department of Psychology and will be responsible for daily running of mice in behavioural tasks, as well as laboratory supervision of graduate and undergraduate students and collation and analysis of large quantities of behavioural data. There may also be the opportunity to engage in novel touchscreen task development for rats and mice.
Candidates should have a PhD in Neuroscience or a related discipline, and ideally some experience running and analyzing experiments testing rodent operant behaviour.
