Live Microscopy in Neuroscience and Behavior

Job Description

The primary goal of the project is to investigate the neurobiological basis of transcranial current stimulation using two-photon imaging in awake, behaving mice

The ideal candidate will have a doctoral degree in neuroscience or a related field, be proficient in designing and performing two-photon imaging experiments with mice or have a strong affinity with complex data analysis. For instance, using Matlab.

The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in designing and further developing experimental protocols, performing experiments, analyzing data, writing up, and presenting scientific results. There will also be an opportunity for conducting original research initiated by the postdoctoral associate.

The Rutgers Newark Campus and the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience provide a diverse and stimulating scientific environment. An infinite amount of cultural stimulation is only a 15 minute train ride away in New York City.

An appointment at NIH postdoctoral salary scales will initially be made for one year, with the possibility to renew for one or more additional years. Rutgers University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action institution; underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply. The start date is flexible.

Informal inquiries regarding the position are welcome and may be directed to the PI, Bart Krekelberg. Please include a CV and a statement of research interests.
