Specific issue of the position: Development of new reliable methods to evaluate neuropathic pain manifestations and treatment and the influence of emotional traits responsible for inter‐individual variability

Research project: The position is framed within a FP7 EC‐funded project,NeuroPain, which is coordinated by the Director of the group, Rafael Maldonado. This proposal profits from the expertise of several complementary
European research groups leading behavioural, electrophysiological, genetic and clinical studies in order to generate new neuropathic pain models of high
predictive value for the preclinical evaluation of novel treatments and the identification of biomarkers of inter‐individual variation and treatment effectiveness in human patients.

Specific requests: The candidate will be involved in the development of new reliable methods to evaluate neuropathic pain manifestations and treatment and the influence of emotional traits responsible for inter‐individual
variability. Candidates should hold (or commitment to have it before May 1, 2014) a PhD degree (Biology, Pharmacology, Neurosciences, Medicine, Psychobiology, Pharmacy or related subjects) and have a strong scientifictechnical background in experimental pain models. In particular, the desired
candidate must have an excellent knowledge of behavioural models of pain, including thermal nociceptive models (Hot‐plate, Tail‐Flick, Tail‐Immersion), neuropathic pain models (sciatic nerve ligation) and mechanical perception models (Von Frey filaments). Moreover, knowledge of other behavioural paradigms (e.g. operant, anxiety and depression models) will be an asset, as well as to master immunohistochemistry, biochemical and molecular biology
techniques. She/he should be fluent in English and have an interactive personality.
Group: The selected person will supervise a small team of 3 PhD students and 2 technicians, will report directly to the Director and will have a good opportunity to further develop her/his professional career in this field.
