Job Description

We are seeking applications for a Research Technician to work on a BBSRC funded project in Professor James Ainge’s lab entitled ‘Lateral Entorhinal Cortex (LEC) and episodic memory: examining LEC's impact on pattern separation and neurogenesis’. The project will examine how new-born neurons contribute to memory for our everyday lived experience. This project provides an exciting opportunity to apply state of the art neuroscience techniques to help explain memory mechanisms in an understudied part of the brain’s memory network.

The primary duties will be to conduct behavioural experiments and carry out histological analysis of brain tissue to examine the neural mechanisms supporting episodic memory. The role will also include management of general lab activities including our transgenic mouse colonies. The candidate will work as part of a large interdisciplinary team that provides support for the postholder and expertise in both animal and human models of memory, animal behaviour and system neuroscience.

The successful applicant will have experience / expertise in systems neuroscience and/or behavioural analysis of animal cognition. This can be demonstrated through experience or qualifications (e.g. BSc., HND, IAT diploma).

This is a full-time position (36.25 hrs per week), on a fixed term contract for 36 months, starting 3 July 2023.

Further details of the project can be found by contacting [email protected]; further details of the lab can be found on the Ainge Lab website.

Applications are particularly welcome from people from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are under-represented in professional posts at the University.


Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the St Andrews experience. We strive to create a fair and inclusive culture demonstrated through our commitment to diversity awards (Athena Swan, Carer Positive, LGBT Charter, Race Charters and Stonewall). We celebrate diversity by promoting profiles of BAME, LGBTIQ+ staff and supporting networks including the Staff BAME Network; Staff with Disabilities Network; Staff LGBTIQ+ Network; and the Staff Parents & Carers Network. Full details available online: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/hr/edi/.
