Title: Neurophysiology and cognitive functions post-doctoral fellowship Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Institute on Aging The National Institute on Aging (NIA), a major research component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is recruiting postdoctoral fellows with interest in neurophysiology and cognitive functions in the Laboratory of Behavioral Neuroscience (LBN). Research in the Neural Circuits and Cognition Unit of LBN aims to understand how cognitive functions are mediated by interactions of cortical and subcortical circuits, with a primary focus on the role of basal forebrain in executive functions and attention. The laboratory combines multiple experimental approaches, including neuronal ensemble recording in behaving rats and mice, as well as novel behavioral paradigms, computational analysis and optogenetic techniques. Our goals are to establish the functional significance of basal forebrain in diverse aspects of executive functions, elucidate the underlying neural circuit mechanisms, and translate these findings from animals to humans to understand impairment of executive functions associated with diseases and aging. We are looking for talented, creative and motivated postdoctoral candidates to join our team. We are especially interested in individuals with significant experience in rodent neurophysiology and strong computational skills. Fellowship duration is up to 5 years. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in psychology/neuroscience or M.D., with less than five years of postdoctoral research experience. The position is located in Baltimore, MD, a city with a stimulating scientific and cultural environment, with proximity to the Johns Hopkins campus. Salary is commensurate with experience and accomplishments. To apply, please send curriculum vitae, a brief description of research interests, and three letters of reference to: Shih-Chieh Lin, Investigator, Laboratory of Behavioral Neuroscience, at [email protected] or at Biomedical Research Center, 251 Bayview Blvd, Suite 100, Room 9C220, Baltimore, MD 21224-6825.
