We are seeking a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Fellow to join our research team in studying the anatomy, physiology and function of the mammalian prefrontal cortex with state-of-the-art approaches. The successful candidate will combine anatomical and viral tracing with in vivo electrophysiological recordings in anesthetized preparations, as well as optogenetic stimulation and whole cell patch-clamp recording in in vitro slices, to investigate the cellular and synaptic properties of prefrontal circuits involved in cognitive and emotional control and integration. Preferred expertise includes: optogenetics, imaging of voltage-sensitive dyes, patch-clamp recording and multiphoton microscopy. The appointment as a Boston University School of Medicine research fellow will be for at least 1 year with the possibility for extension based on performance.
