DETAILS OF THE OFFER | Working place: the laboratory of Dr. Pierre-Olivier Polack at Rutgers University - Newark Missions: Our laboratory investigates how visual processing by the neurons of the primary visual cortex (V1) is modulated by the behavioral state such as attention and expectation, and the impact of such modulations on visual perception. We use a wide range of electrophysiology and functional imaging techniques in mice performing behavioral tasks such as two-photon targeted whole-cell recordings, calcium imaging, voltage sensitive dye imaging, and optogenetics in awake behaving mice. More information is available on our website.
Qualifications: The successful candidate should hold a Ph.D. in Neuroscience (or in a related field). Good knowledge of MATLAB or a similar programming language is a plus.
Other: The laboratory is hosted by the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) at Rutgers-Newark, a vibrant community of 15 laboratories with overlapping interests in neurophysiology and neuroscience. The campus of Rutgers at Newark is only 20 minutes away from Manhattan, New York City using public transportation.
