Applications are invited for a 3-year postdoctoral research position at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS) at Imperial College London (http://lms.mrc.ac.uk/).
Neuroactive natural products have led to important drugs including anthelmintics and pharmaceuticals, but we have barely scratched the surface of what nature has to offer. How will we discover the next generation of neuroactive compounds? We have developed new technology for high-throughput behavioural screening and quantitative phenotyping that will enable us to find neuroactive natural products at an unprecedented scale. This position would give you access to unique screening technology and a group of interdisciplinary colleagues who work together on behaviour assays, instrument development, software, and data analysis.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative scientist with a PhD and an interest in behavior, animal-microbe interactions, synthetic biology, and/or... neuropharmacology. Other members of the team have backgrounds in microbiology, physics, neuroscience, and engineering. Your particular path is less important than your desire to learn and work on interesting problems.
The Behavioural Phenomics lab is a friendly interdisciplinary team headed by Dr André Brown at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences based on the Hammersmith Campus of Imperial College London. For more information, see the group’s website at https://tierpsy.com/.
Duties and responsibilities
You will be responsible for developing and refining methods to quantify the effect of microbial extracts and pure natural products on the behaviour and development of C. elegans and to collaborate closely with scientists at Syngenta to determine the mode of action of active compounds.
Essential requirements
• Research Associate: Hold or be about to obtain a PhD in a biological or physical science or engineering or a closely related discipline, or equivalent research, industrial or commercial experience
• Research Assistant: Near completion of a PhD in a biological or physical science or engineering or a closely related discipline, or equivalent research, industrial or commercial experience
• Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as Research Assistant.
• Practical experience within a research environment and / or publication in relevant and refereed journals
• Creative approach to problem solving and a desire to work in an interdisciplinary team
Further information
This is a full time and fixed term post for 3 years. You will be based at the Hammersmith Campus (East Acton).

Job summary
Applications are invited for a 3-year postdoctoral research position at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS) at Imperial College London (http://lms.mrc.ac.uk/).
Neuroactive natural products have led to important drugs including anthelmintics and pharmaceuticals, but we have barely scratched the surface of what nature has to offer. How will we discover the next generation of neuroactive compounds? We have developed new technology for high-throughput behavioural screening and quantitative phenotyping that will enable us to find neuroactive natural products at an unprecedented scale. This position would give you access to unique screening technology and a group of interdisciplinary colleagues who work together on behaviour assays, instrument development, software, and data analysis.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative scientist with a PhD and an interest in behavior, animal-microbe interactions, synthetic biology, and/or... neuropharmacology. Other members of the team have backgrounds in microbiology, physics, neuroscience, and engineering. Your particular path is less important than your desire to learn and work on interesting problems.
The Behavioural Phenomics lab is a friendly interdisciplinary team headed by Dr André Brown at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences based on the Hammersmith Campus of Imperial College London. For more information, see the group’s website at https://tierpsy.com/.
Duties and responsibilities
You will be responsible for developing and refining methods to quantify the effect of microbial extracts and pure natural products on the behaviour and development of C. elegans and to collaborate closely with scientists at Syngenta to determine the mode of action of active compounds.
Essential requirements
• Research Associate: Hold or be about to obtain a PhD in a biological or physical science or engineering or a closely related discipline, or equivalent research, industrial or commercial experience
• Research Assistant: Near completion of a PhD in a biological or physical science or engineering or a closely related discipline, or equivalent research, industrial or commercial experience
• Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as Research Assistant.
• Practical experience within a research environment and / or publication in relevant and refereed journals
• Creative approach to problem solving and a desire to work in an interdisciplinary team
Further information
This is a full time and fixed term post for 3 years. You will be based at the Hammersmith Campus (East Acton).
Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as a Research Assistant within the salary range £38,194 - £41,388 per annum.
