<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Miller and Katz labs are looking for a
postdoctoral
researcher with expertise in two or more of the following areas:
electrophysiology, optogenetics, animal behavior, data analysis,
and/or
computational <span
style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:

project, which is
funded by the BRAIN initiative. The project’s goal is to uncover
the dynamics
and neural circuitry underlying the ongoing consumption
decisions that occur when
an animal is choosing between different tastes or olfactory
stimuli. The ideal
candidate will be highly motivated, bring relevant skills based
on past
experience, be willing and able to develop new project-related
skills, and be
good at communicating with others in both experimental and
computational labs. </span></p>
