Job Title: Postdoctoral Scholar - Behavioral and Experimental Neuroscientist for Large Scale Recordings and Manipulations
Location: Cleveland, Ohio, US
Closing Date: 31st December 2022
Job Description
We are looking for a postdoctoral scholar who will design and perform in vivo large‐scale optogenetics and imaging experiments. With these systems and analysis pipelines, we would like to understand how neural circuits generate patterned activity that gives rise to complex behaviors and phenotypes in health and disease states. It is a fully‐funded and three‐years long postdoctoral position. Its duration can be extended further.
About the Yildirim Lab
We are a highly‐motivated multi‐disciplinary research group focuses on cracking brain complexity in the lens of engineering, optics, photonics, behavioral and computational neuroscience for basic and translational neuroscience questions.
