<span lang="EN-GB">A postdoc position (up to 4 years, ERC-funded) is available in the lab of Katja Reinhard, PhD, in the Department for Neuroscience at SISSA, Trieste, Italy to study how brain circuits enable behavioural flexibility.
<b>Both engineering/computational scientists as well as experimentalists with strong analytical skills are encouraged to apply!<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>

<p class="zfr3q" style="margin:0cm"><span class="c9dxtc"><u><span style="color:black">Projects & main techniques:</span></u><span style="color:black"> Animals react to threat or stimuli of interest with innate behaviours including escape, freezing and approach.
Our goal is to investigate how rodents adjust these innate reactions to different ecologically relevant contexts, e.g. ambient light and circadian rhythm. In addition, we aim to understand how behavioural flexibility evolved in related species from different
niches. Candidates will analyse high-throughput electrophysiological, calcium imaging and behavioural data to discover neural correlates of stimuli, behaviour and context; and to create models of behavioural flexibility.
<b>The new lab member can be involved in performing experiments if desired and will closely collaborate with experimentalists.<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></p>
