Postdoctoral positions in learning and memory

Postdoctoral positions are available in the Cho laboratory at the University of California, Riverside.  Our research program is focused on the neural circuit mechanisms of emotional learning and memory [Link]. Projects funded by the NIH will incorporate two-photon microscopy, electrophysiology, in vivo calcium imaging, virus tracing, and optogenetics/chemogenetics in transgenic mouse models.
