Applications are invited for two Post-doctoral Research Fellowships, for three years, available immediately. One is funded by the European Union and one by the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

The other project will combine confocal microscopy and electrophysiology to explore in real time the pathophysiological consequences of inflammation within the central nervous system, particularly the effects on axons and mitochondria. The latter position will involve research collaboration with Prof Michael Duchen, Department of Physiology, UCL (see: http://www.physiol.ucl.ac.uk/research/duchen_m/
