<div style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class="">We are looking for a talented and motivated student to join an exciting project probing the functional properties of mammalian neural circuits. The successful candidate will use a range
of techniques -- including two-photon microscopy, two-photon optogenetics, electrophysiology, and behavioural paradigms in virtual reality -- in order to investigate computation in neural circuits during behaviour.<span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span></div>
