3 year Post-doc and Research Technician positions available in the lab of ‘Neurogenetics of Behaviour’ at Birmingham University, UK.


We are looking for motivated people with experience and/or interest in neuroscience, behaviour, genetics and Drosophila to join our group. The successful applicants will pursue research projects with the goal of understanding how animals make decisions when faced with conflicting options -at a molecular, neural and circuit level-. The techniques employed will include genetics, molecular biology, optogenetics, neural circuit manipulations, live imaging, and fly behaviour. You will be part of a young team within the stimulating and international environment of the University of Birmingham. We are based in the School of Biosciences, as part of an exciting fly community, on a beautiful campus in the middle of a vibrant city.


Check us out: www.rezavallab.org

Closing Date: 11th August 2022

About our research:


Animals deal with a complex world filled with multiple simultaneous possibilities to act, producing constant conflicts. Very often, the possible actions cannot be displayed simultaneously, forcing an action-selection process in which urgent behaviours get prioritised. Our lab aims to understand the molecular and neural mechanisms that oversee this crucial and universal brain task. We use the fruit-fly Drosophila as a model organism, and employ custom-made behavioural setups, automated analysis of behaviour, calcium imaging of neuronal activity, fly genetics, neural circuit manipulations, confocal microscopy, optogenetics, molecular biology, and coding in R, MatLab and related. By studying how the brain makes decisions during conflicting situations at a genetic, cellular and circuit level, in an accessible experimental system, we aim to reveal fundamental principles underlying behavioural choices that might be present across species.
