What are the responsibilities and job description for the LDA - Post-doctoral Research Associate: Department of Psychology - UTK position at The SMILE Fund?
The Lau lab is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to immediately join our research team investigating the neurobiological mechanisms underlying neurological disorders. The successful candidate will lead projects focusing on circuit dysfunction using systems neuroscience approaches.
Position Overview
The postdoctoral fellow will investigate synaptic and circuit alterations in neurological disorders using slice electrophysiology, miniscope and optogenetic approaches in freely behaving mice. Additionally, this position offers opportunities to work with graduate and undergraduate trainees in the lab, with the potential to develop classroom teaching skills and independent lines of enquiry, which will be useful for establishing track record for independent academic positions.
