Connectionists: Open postdoctoral position to study cortico-thalamic interactions in the motor system & basal ganglia

[Jaeger, Dieter]

Opportunity for a postdoctoral fellow to join an NIH funded Obama BRAIN initiative project on the role of the basal ganglia in motor decision making in behaving mice (https://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_description.cfm?icde=0&aid=9012601).  The project aims to elucidate how subcortical structures feed back onto and influence cortical processing. The position will involve multisite recording and optogenetics in behaving mice in the Jaeger lab at Emory University in Atlanta, which provides a strong training environment in computational and systems neuroscience in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology.  The successful candidate needs previous electrophysiological experience and strong data analysis skills using Matlab or Python.  A PhD in Biomedical Engineering or Neuroscience is preferred.   If interested & qualified, please contact djaeger at emory.edu
