The Opportunity: 

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to study mammalian brain regeneration. The post holder will be part of a Brain Research UK research project between The University of Edinburgh, ETH Zurich and the University of Basel investigating how adult neural stem cells and other glial cells respond to a focal injury and drive tissue regeneration in the spiny mouse – the only mammal known to rebuild complex tissues after substantial damage. The post holder will use single-cell genomics, develop novel brain injury models, and perform cross-species comparisons to pinpoint exactly wh...
