Postdoctoral Position in Pain Neurosciences and Sensory Neuron Electrophysiology at University of Oxford University of Oxford in United Kingdom

The University of Oxford is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join an exciting, multi-lab Medical Research Council (MRC) funded project focused on advancing humanised pain models. The position is ideal for candidates with a passion for pain neurosciences, particularly those with expertise in culturing neurons and advanced skills in electrophysiological characterisation and imaging of sensory neurons. The research aims to deepen our understanding of pain mechanisms using innovative humanised models, contributing to the development of new therapeutic strategies.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Professor Annina B Schmid, a leading expert in pain neurosciences and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. The project offers a collaborative environment, engaging with multiple research groups at Oxford. Applicants should have a strong background in neuroscience or a closely related field, with hands-on experience in neuronal culture, electrophysiology, and imaging techniques. Experience in pain research and working within multi-disciplinary teams is highly desirable.

The position is fully funded by the MRC, though specific details regarding salary or additional financial support are not provided in the announcement. The University of Oxford provides a world-class research environment and access to state-of-the-art facilities for neuroscience research.

Interested candidates should review the full job description and submit their application through the University of Oxford's recruitment portal. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in pain neurosciences at one of the world's leading universities.
