Role Overview & Responsibilities

Applications are invited for a Research Assistant position in the lab of Dr. Sepiedeh Keshavarzi to investigate the organisation and function of neural circuits underlying spatial orientation, funded by the Wellcome Trust.

About the Lab:

The Keshavarzi lab (Brain Circuits for Sensation and Cognition) has recently opened in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience (PDN) at the University of Cambridge. We investigate the neural underpinnings of spatial orientation and self-motion. Our research aims to understand the processing and integration of sensory signals from the body and the surrounding environment within thalamocortical and intracortical circuits involved in navigation. We explore how these circuits contribute to orientation computations, perception, and behaviour.
