Postdoc position: spatial memory + two-photon imaging

The Gu laboratory aims to investigate the neural basis of spatial navigation and memory, with the ultimate goal to uncover the fundamental principle of spatial cognition and the cause of related neurological disorders. Projects in the laboratory mainly use mice as model animals and integrate multifaceted approaches, such as in vivo two-photon imaging, virtual reality behavioral paradigm, computational data analysis, and theoretical modeling.

Salary and benefits will be set commensurate with experience and qualifications as well as NIH guidelines for intramural research training awards.

We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral candidates with a Ph.D. degree and having strong knowledge background and research training in neuroscience. We prefer, but not limited to, candidates with expertise in the following areas: in vivo imaging/recording, rodent surgery, rodent behavior, data analysis (MATLAB skill is preferred), and theoretical modeling. Candidate should have at least one first-author research paper in the area of neuroscience, and good oral and written communication skills in English. Candidates are expected to conduct independent research and cooperatively work with other colleagues.

U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply. NIH welcomes foreign nationals with the exception of individuals from this list.
