Research Associate in Neurovascular Coupling

• £37,694- £41,064
• Full time
• Fixed Term: 5 years

The candidate will support the aims of investigating the effects of menopause on neurovascular health using preclinical mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD risk, funded by the Wellcome Trust. This innovative project will involve the use of in vivo imaging approaches (e.g. multi-photon microscopy and optical imaging spectroscopy) to assess neuronal and vascular function in the hippocampus and neocortex of awake mice. Cognitive function will be assessed using established behavioural tests. Post-mortem analysis will include immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing to identify candidate treatments targeting menopause-sensitive vasodilation pathways.

Deadline for applications: Wednesday 11 February
