In the recent Research Excellence Framework assessment (REF 2021), 100% of ourImpact casesin Biological Sciences and Chemistry were rated as world-leading or internationally excellent. The School has received substantial recent University investment and is embarking on an exciting and broad, muti-million pound refurbishment and improvement project. A Research Fellow in Neuroscience position is available in the laboratory of Tom Baden to study how animal visual systems are adapted to extract and process behaviourally important information from the environment. How visual information is encoded at the first synapse in vision determines the quality and precision of information available downstream. We will use fluorescent reporters of synaptic transmission and neural activity in conjunction with 2-photon imaging to record signal transmission from cone photoreceptors. In addition, we will reconstruct the underlying morphology in 3D using an SEM data set. The project involves both experiments and computer-located analysis. We are a very active research group located in the Neuroscience Centre, which also houses a number of other groups using imaging to study neural circuits involved in sensory processing (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/sussexneuroscience/).
