倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院（University College London，簡稱：UCL），位于英國倫敦，是一所公立研究型大學(xué)，也是第一所在倫敦成立的大學(xué)。學(xué)校是羅素大學(xué)集團和歐洲研究型大學(xué)聯(lián)盟的成員，被譽為金三角名校之一。

倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院于1826年2月11日正式成立，前身為倫敦大學(xué)，由于沒有獲得皇家憲章，它最初是作為股份公司成立的。1836年11月28日，學(xué)校獲得皇家憲章，并更名為倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院。同一天，一所新的倫敦大學(xué)成立，而且有權(quán)向該學(xué)校的學(xué)生授予醫(yī)學(xué)、藝術(shù)和法律學(xué)位。1907年，學(xué)校根據(jù)1905年《倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院（轉(zhuǎn)讓）法案》并入倫敦大學(xué)，更名為倫敦大學(xué)·大學(xué)學(xué)院，隨后于1977年12月9日從倫敦大學(xué)中分離出來，并根據(jù)1979年《倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院法案》重組為倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院。2005年，倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院獲得了自行頒授獨立學(xué)位的權(quán)力，不再使用倫敦大學(xué)的名義。

Deadline:

23 August 2024

About the role

Applications are invited for a Post-doctoral Research Associate in Neuroscience position to join the EIT and Neurophysiology Lab in the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at UCL. The position is part of a project funded by the UK Medical Research Council which involves delineating the organisation and composition of the vagus nerve of humans to allow for selective electrical stimulation to treat diseases.

The post offers a unique opportunity to conduct research at an internationally leading university and contribute to the advancements in selective neuromodulation. Prof. Holder's research group is internationally recognised for its pioneering work in neural engineering. The appointed person will work in a multidisciplinary team of engineers, physiologists, doctors and physicists and collaborate with other teams in the consortium.

The postholder will be required to carry out research in the area of peripheral/autonomic nerve imaging and neuromodulation, including designing and running experiments, recording, analysing, and writing up the results. The role will involve ex vivo imaging and mapping of human vagus nerves, histological section preparation, staining, immunohistochemistry, microCT imaging, image processing, data acquisition, analysis, and dissemination of findings. They may also participate in in vivo physiological studies using novel multi-electrode nerve cuffs and Electrical Impedance Tomography. The role includes preparing and presenting findings to colleagues, drafting and submitting papers to peer-reviewed journals, preparing progress reports for funding bodies, and contributing to the overall activities of the research team and department.
