Postdoctoral Associate

Want to see circuits in high resolution, or understand how synapse organization drives circuit function? Postdoctoral associate positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Erik Bloss at The Jackson Laboratory in beautiful Bar Harbor, Maine. We study how neural circuits and synaptic connections relate to learning-related behaviors, and perform these studies with neuroanatomical, computational, behavioral, chemogenetic, and mouse genetic approaches. The Bloss Lab offers a challenging but supportive environment and is looking for new postdocs with a track record for publications.
