About this role

About Meridial
 
Meridial is a Focused Research Organisation (FRO) with a mission to bring connectomics into the living brain. We are building a platform for longitudinal, synapse-resolution mapping of functional neural circuitry in preclinical models. Our aim is to deploy this platform for translational projects and improve drug development outcomes for disorders of the central nervous system. 
 
Meridial is a new not-for-profit FRO in the Convergent Research Ecosystem and funded by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA).
 
About the role

Meridial is seeking an experimental neuroscientist to join our team as Associate Scientist – In Vivo Neuroscience.

This is a hands-on role. You will carry out neurosurgery, longitudinal two-photon imaging and optogenetic experiments in mice as part of Meridial’s programme to develop advanced 3D imaging and photostimulation technologies for functional mapping of neural circuits.

We are looking for a scientist with strong practical and experimental skills. You should already have substantial hands-on experience with mouse neurosurgery and in vivo two-photon imaging and be motivated to develop these skills further.

You will join a small Experimental Team that will grow over the coming year, and will be able to contribute to the development of protocols and workflows from an early stage. You will report to the Director of Experimental Research and will receive hands-on training and mentoring from more senior scientists in the team. You will also work closely with engineers and computational researchers across Meridial.
