The Laboratory for Neural Engineering and Control at Columbia University is searching for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with in-vivo two photon experience, preferably in the field of neuroscience or neural engineering. A successful candidate should have a robust theoretical and practical knowledge of two photon imaging techniques, advanced genetic tagging and manipulation methods, and real-time analysis and optogenetic stimulation protocols. The project will entail building the necessary tools required to investigate and control neural circuit dynamics in awake, behaving mice. This work will specifically focus on understanding the impact of network dynamics on neural coding in cortical structures and how real-time control of multiple neuromodulatory systems can be implemented to tune this code. Additionally, candidates should have excellent communication skills and value working closely with graduate students and mentoring fellow lab members. The ability to collaborate and synthesize innovative science in a dynamic team environment is required.
