Your position
The project has the broad goal of better understanding the neuronal circuits for sensory processing, perception, and learning. It includes both experiments and data analysis. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to learn and apply several state-of-the-art systems neuroscience techniques such as in vivo extracellular recordings, functional 2P imaging, behavioral assays, optogenetics, in vivo patch-clamp recordings, viral neural tracing, or immunohistochemistry. The research questions will be chosen from a range of topics in auditory systems neuroscience.
Your profile
You are our new team member if you:
- have a background in neuroscience, physics, computer science, mathematics, biology, or engineering
- have a spirit of intellectual adventure as well as drive and eagerness
- can be creative and focused on a project at the same time
- have experience and interest in programming data analysis code
- run experiments methodically and are adept at troubleshooting and problem solving
