Positions

We provide a highly interactive, dynamic, supportive environment for neuroscience research. Research positions are often open for postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, and undergraduates. Research areas include cellular physiology (synaptic physiology, pharmacology, plasticity, whole-cell recording in vitro and in vivo, 2-photon calcium imaging), systems neuroscience (sensory physiology, tetrode recordings during behavior), computational neuroscience (quantitative analysis of sensory coding and natural spike trains), and developmental neuroscience (postnatal development and plasticity of cortical circuits and sensory maps).

A position is currently open for a synaptic physiologist interested in studying the sites and mechanisms of cortical plasticity induced by sensory experience (Summer 2010). Postdocs and PhD students from all quantitative scientific disciplines are encouraged to apply. Applications for postdoctoral positions should include a CV and names of two references.

Undergraduates who are interested in neurophysiology, animal behavior, or microscopy may apply for research internships or assistantships. In these positions, students assist PhD students and postdocs in ongoing research. A commitment of 2 semesters is required. Independent research is available for successful students.
