Project Title: Sex-dependent role of dopamine D3 receptors in the individual vulnerability to develop compulsive drug seeking and taking behaviour: preclinical investigations using a novel highly selective antagonist

Supervisor: Professor David Belin

Department/Institute: Physiology, Development & Neuroscience (PDN)

Industrial Partner: Shionogi

Project details:

The opioid epidemic that has been claiming the lives of over half a million people in the US in the past decade is reaching the UK. There are still no effective treatments for addiction to opiate and other drugs such as cocaine and alcohol, thereby limiting our ability to help those who suffer from this debilitating psychiatric disorder, in part due to our lack of understanding of the cellular mechanisms mediating the transition from controlled to compulsive drug seeking and taking behaviour, the hallmark of substance use disorder. Among candidate mechanisms, those downstream of the dopamine D3 receptor, whose expression is profoundly exacerbated by exposure to addictive drugs, have long stood out. However, the role of this receptor in compulsive drug-seeking behaviour has never been determined due to the lack of appropriate procedures in non-human species. Capitalising on a novel animal model of compulsive heroin-seeking habits developed by the Belin lab, a new multi-million-pound partnership with Shionogi has recently been launched to test, among others, the therapeutic potential, and the associated neural signature, of a new highly selective dopamine D3 receptor on drug-seeking habits, compulsive drug seeking and escalation of drug self-administration in male and female rats. This programme of research at the interface of Behavioural neuroscience, neuropharmacology and molecular biology will provide a unique opportunity for a PhD student to acquire a deep knowledge of the psychological and neural basis of substance use disorders while also acquiring a wide range of experimental skills in a very supportive environment.

The industrial partner is one of the few Big Pharma laboratories left investing in fundamental research in neuroscience and pursuing the development of novel treatments for CNS disorders. It has long been interested in expanding their drug discovery strategy to drug addiction. Shionogi has become a primary industrial partner of the Cambridge landscape and is very active in its collaboration with the Cambridge Neuroscience Community. Over the past five years, Shionogi has supported a new line of research into the role of peripheral mu opiate receptors in the behavioural effects of opiates in the context of a BBSRC-ICase studentship with the Belin that has proven very successful, thereby being a testament to the commitment of Shionogi to support research in the field of substance use disorders.

Applicants will be expected to have extensive experience with chronic intravenous self-administration procedures in rats.

We are seeking to appoint a Researcher in Public Health to lead a collaborative research programme in Derby and the wider Derbyshire area on the socioeconomic determinants of health inequalities and their impact on non-communicable diseases. Our strategic aim is to conduct excellent, multidisciplinary research at the intersection of two growing areas of public health priority.

The programme involves multisectoral collaboration with regional, national and international organisations. The example of the local stakeholders includes the University of Derby's School of Allied Health and Social Care, the Derbyshire NHS Integrated Care System, Derby City Local Authority, Derbyshire County Council, and Derbyshire Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise.

Our target populations include underserved populations living in poverty and minoritised groups facing issues related to substance misuse, mental health disorders, and homelessness. The collaboration aims to how socioeconomic factors such as access to health and social services, income levels, social deprivation, affordable housing, education, and environmental conditions influence non-communicable diseases prioritised in UK public health. Additionally, we will also examine behavioural factors such as gambling, alcohol, and drug addiction, as well as adverse childhood experiences. 

The successful candidate will have the freedom to develop the project with support from Professor Mzwandile Mabhala and other leading experts in public health. This role involves working within a collaborative team that includes both established and early-career researchers, as well as public health practitioners and policy leaders, on a regional, national, and international scale.

Day to day elements of the role include:

• Engage in networking activities to make internal and external contacts develop knowledge, and form relationships for future research collaboration.  
• Identifying opportunities for "bonding networks" to enhance collaborative efforts in advancing the research and development agenda related to health inequalities and vulnerable groups.
• Developing capacity within the wider public health workforce, particularly in non-traditional public health organisations and roles not specifically identified as public health.
• Leading efforts to identify external funding opportunities and develop grant proposals involves conducting literature reviews, preparing research plans, and contributing to budget justifications.
• Preparing research manuscripts for publication in high-impact scientific journals and presenting findings at conferences and seminars.
• Contributing to departmental teaching activities, including supervising PhD and MSc students.

The anticipated interview date is Thursday 1st May 2025.

Applications are invited for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on a project investigating the neurocognitive mechanisms underpinning alcohol consumption in adolescence, funded by the Academy of Medical Sciences. This post is based at the School of Psychology and Aston Institute for Health & Neurodevelopment (AIHN) at Aston University, Birmingham. AIHN is a world-leading CQC-registered brain-imaging facility with an excellent interdisciplinary research environment fostering ‘bench-to-bedside’ research into health and neurodevelopment.

This is a unique opportunity to join a world-leading team in addiction and neuroimaging research led by Dr Charlotte Pennington. The project will comprise a large-scale neuroimaging experiment to determine whether reward sensitivity and inhibitory control predict alcohol-related attentional bias and consumption in adolescence.

The successful candidate will provide essential research assistance for all aspects of the project. Support is particularly required for the programming of experimental tasks and analysis pipelines for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and collecting such data from a large sample of adolescents at the AIHN. Therefore, the candidate must have a track record of excellent programming and quantitative data analysis skills. Some experience with the collection and analysis of fMRI data is desirable, but full training will be provided. The candidate must be able to travel to Aston University, Birmingham as data collection will happen on site.

The candidate must have a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, or a cognate discipline. They should have advanced skills in programming and data analysis and experience of writing up research for high-quality publications and conference presentations. Additional essential criteria and responsibilities can be found in the job description and person specification.

This role is subject to satisfactory Enhanced DBS check. 

If you have any queries regarding this post, please contact the Principal Investigator, Dr Charlotte Pennington (c [dot] pennington [at] aston [dot] ac [dot] uk (c[dot]pennington[at]aston[dot]ac[dot]uk)).
