We are looking for a highly motivated and collaborative individual who has an interest in investigating the molecular mechanisms that underlie Alcohol Use Disorders.

Postdoctoral training opportunities will include activity-dependent labeling of neurons, Translational Affinity profiling (TRAP), single-cell sequencing, in-vivo circuit manipulation, and cell-type specific manipulation of gene expression.

The Physiology Department is affiliated with the Comprehensive Alcohol Research Center and Alcohol & Drug Abuse Center for Excellence providing multiple tracts for career development in the field of neuroscience and addiction studies.
