No Offer Description CALL FOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP The University of Coimbra opens a call for one research fellowship in the framework of the La Caixa Foundation Postdoctoral Junior Leader Fellowships – Call 2022 project "Deciphering the neonatal shift in neurovascular coupling: a multimodal approach" (reference: 116303), financed by Fundación Bancaria Caixa d'Estalvis I Pensiones de Barcelona, in the following conditions: Scientific area: Neurosciences, biology, physiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, Bioengineering, Biomedical Sciences, Medicine or life sciences.
Skills/Qualifications/Admission requirements: Candidates should have a Master degree in the Life Sciences or similar areas (Neurosciences, biology, physiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, Bioengineering, Biomedical Sciences, Medicine, etc.
), and must be enrolled in a course not conferring an academic degree.
Work plan/Objectives: The candidate will work on projects centered around brain vascular biology and neurogliovascular unit development.
The primary focus is to assist research related to a La Caixa funded project to identify the origins of the developmental shift in Neurovascular Coupling.
We aim to understand when and why the cerebrovascular system starts to respond to neuronal activation during the neonatal period, with particular attention to astrocytic end feet development and maturation.
This will be achieved through a multidisciplinary team using cutting-edge methodologies (fMRI, photoacoustic, multiphoton microscopy, and mass spectroscopy) to study neonatal brain development in living mice.
Main role of this position: Carry out research experiments as directed, ideally with great independence; Contribute toteam objectives and work alongside other team members in a collegiate manner; Ensure smoothrunning of the research laboratory: maintaining laboratory stock materials and inventory, and assisting in purchasing/ordering; Encouraged towork independently to publish and develop scientifically.
