Postdoctoral positions are available at Stanford University, Department of Neurobiology in an exciting, uncharted, newly emerging field to study multiregional neural computations underlying dynamic social interactions and its development in Marmosets. We combine largescale neural recordings and perturbations, innovative game-theory driven behavioral paradigms, machine vision and advanced computational and modeling methods to get at how dynamic social behaviors are mediated at the neuronal and population level. Our interdisciplinary laboratory is set in a highly collaborative community promoting scientific excellence. The lab has open positions starting July 1st 2024, earlier or later start dates are possible.
We are looking for bright, highly motivated, detail-oriented team players to join us.
