Postdoctoral Fellow

Role of pulvino-cortical circuits in the development of visual behaviors We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to lead an innovative project focused on the development of the marmoset visual pulvinar and its role in the maturation and behaviors of the visual cortex. This role will involve cutting-edge techniques, including electrophysiology, calcium imaging, viral studies, behavioral assessments, and anatomical analyses. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in systems neurobiology and non-human primate (NHP) biology, with expertise in in vivo electrophysiology, viral constructs, and image processing. You should want to thrive in a collaborative environment that spans from cellular to system levels. Key qualifications include proficiency in statistical analysis and Python programming, animal behavior, a hands-on approach to building equipment, and a passion for developing new research tools.
