The post will be based in the Headache Group under the supervision of Dr Philip R Holland, a preclinical research group with expertise in primary headache disorders, electrophysiology, disease modelling, behaviour, chemogenetics and in vivo neural imaging technologies.

 

The Headache Group is part of the WSPaRC, with broad expertise in sensory biology (pain, vision & hearing) and regeneration (spinal and head injury). Based on the Guy’s campus, we are just a short walk from London Bridge station.

We are seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Associate with an interest in primary headache disorders and related co-morbid conditions to help uncover novel disease mechanisms that can lead to the development of novel therapeutic targets. The individual will report to the PI of the headache Group, Dr Philip R Holland and will be responsible for conducting their own independent research projects, the supervision of more junior staff and students, while contributing to the running of the laboratory to include health and safety requirements.

 

This is a full-time post (35 hours per week), and the successful candidate will be offered a fixed term contract for 2 years.
