Experimental Neurobiologist

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated researcher to join our team at the Unit for Experimental Traumatology. As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will be responsible for conducting research on neurotraumatology, with a focus on improving our understanding of traumatic brain injury.

The Unit for Experimental Traumatology is a basic science laboratory that conducts research in experimental traumatology within a context of defence medicine. Our research aims to improve survival after injuries, through improved primary and secondary care, but also a safer work environment. The unit conducts research in two focus areas: prehospital care and protection, and neurotraumatology.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment, where you will have the chance to contribute to cutting-edge research and develop your skills as a researcher. You will be part of a team that is passionate about advancing knowledge in neurotraumatology and translating research findings into practice.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in neuroscience or a related field and significant experience in experimental research. You will be expected to conduct original research, analyze data, and present findings in a clear and concise manner. Your expertise in statistical analysis, scientific writing, and presentation will also be valuable assets to our team.

In addition to your technical skills, we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, flexible, and able to work independently as well as collaboratively. You will be required to travel occasionally to attend conferences and workshops.

The unit conducts research in two focus areas: prehospital care and protection, and neurotraumatology. This includes reduction of deaths due to massive bleeding and lost airway, strategies to reduce death or disability due to traumatic brain injury, and injury mechanisms related to body armour and helmets.

We are particularly interested in researchers who have expertise in one or more of the following areas:

1. Preclinical experimentation, including animal models and physiological measurements
2. Physiological and morphological analysis techniques, including immunohistochemistry and behavioural studies
3. Molecular biology, including gene expression and protein analysis

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in neurobiology, trauma research, and laboratory procedures. If you are interested in joining our team and contributing to groundbreaking research in neurotraumatology, please submit your application.
