The focus of this position will be on conducting tissue engineering/cell transplantation studies in a rat model of stroke (see Bible, E et al 2009 Biomaterials). The candidate must have a PhD in a life science (preferably neuroscience) and able to perform the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo). Experience in behavioral analyses of animals, immunohistochemistry, magnetic resonance imaging and cell culture is desirable, but not a prerequisite. The position requires working with a diverse research team and collaborators, and therefore strong communication skills in English are required. The appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal for another 1-2 years.
