Postdoctoral Research Assistant and Research Technician Positions

Two positions have come available through a recently-awarded MRC project grant.

The project involves the investigation of a novel adenosine A₁ receptor (A₁R) agonist that has very peculiar properties. The agonist, BnOCPA elicits analgesia in a model of neuropathic pain, but is devoid of the cardiorespiratory depression and sedation typically associated with adenosine and conventional

A₁R agonists.

Two positions are available - a Postdoctoral Research Assistant and a Research Technician.

The adverts will appear shortly, but in the meantime, suitably qualified candidates (ie those with a track record in experimental biomedical research) can contact for further details and read the paper describing BnOCPALink opens in a new window.
