Postdoctoral positions in sensory coding and memory - University of Sheffield
by Andrew Lin Sept. 15, 2026

Sept. 15, 2026

Why are brains the way they are? Do neural circuits function in an “optimal” way, and if so, in what sense are they optimal? How does the brain encode sensory information and form associative memories? Andrew Lin’s lab at the University of Sheffield is seeking up to two Research Associates to study these questions in the fruit fly Drosophila. We study memory using a range of methods, such as in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, electrophysiology, fly genetics, behavioural experiments, computational modelling and building custom equipment. You will design, develop and perform experiments and data analysis (tailoring the project to your own interests and expertise), write papers, and present your work at conferences and seminars. We seek self-motivated, innovative and creative candidates with a PhD (or be close to completion / have equivalent postdoctoral level experience) in a relevant field, expertise in at least some of the above techniques, excellent communication skills, and an ability to work independently and in a team. We encourage applications from diverse academic backgrounds, such as biology, neuroscience, experimental psychology, computer science, physics and engineering. Closing date: 5 October 2026 Apply at this link: https://tinyurl.com/LinPostdoc2026 or https://jobsite.sheffield.ac.uk/job/Research-Associate-Neuroscience-%282-Po… More about the lab: https://www.aclinlab.org/ Start date is flexible - happy to discuss We welcome international applicants and the university will reimburse the post-holder for many visa expenses: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/jobs/induction/before/international/visas For informal enquiries, contact Andrew: andrew.lin(a)sheffield.ac.uk -- Andrew Lin School of Biosciences University of Sheffield Firth Court Western Bank Sheffield S10 2TN +44 (0) 114 222 3643 http://www.aclinlab.org
