The Sarter lab in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)(https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/msarter/) is seeking an outstanding, driven postdoctoral fellow for research on the regulation and function of cholinergic systems in animal models of addiction and associated biopsychological traits. The position is fully supported by funded grants and available for 3-5 years of postdoctoral training.
The Sarter lab combines contemporary neuroscientifc methods, including amperometric recordings of synaptic signaling and opto- and chemogenetic manipulations with sophisticated behavioral methods. The laboratory is also involved in research in humans expressing choline transporter genetic variants and in various patient groups. These translational perspectives support a stimulating environment and allow trainees to expand their research into diverse directions.
The successful candidate should have a Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience or Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Psychology or related discipline. Salary is competitive and commensurate with NIH pay scale. Please contact Martin Sarter (msarter@umich.edu).
