Postdoc in brain resilience to heat

This position requires an independent postdoctoral researcher with a doctoral degree, specializing in brain resilience to heat. The ideal candidate possesses advanced expertise in neuroscience, physiology, or related biomedical fields, with a strong foundation in experimental design and data analysis focused on neural responses to thermal stress. Experience conducting rigorous, hypothesis-driven research independently is essential, demonstrating the ability to develop and execute complex studies investigating mechanisms underlying brain adaptation or protection against heat exposure. Proficiency in relevant laboratory techniques, such as in vivo or in vitro neural assays, imaging modalities, molecular biology methods, and possibly electrophysiology, is expected. Familiarity with thermal physiology and neuroprotection pathways will be advantageous. The role demands critical thinking, strong analytical skills, and the capacity to interpret multidisciplinary data integrating neurobiological, physiological, and environmental factors. Effective scientific communication, including publishing results and collaborating within interdisciplinary teams, is important. Overall, the candidate should bring a high level of scholarly rigor and innovative approaches to advance understanding of how the brain withstands heat stress, contributing to broader knowledge in neuroscience and potentially informing clinical or environmental health applications.
