    Responsibilities

    experimental data collection and analysis through the use of:


    • 2-photon imaging in the brain- optogenetics- muscle electrophysiology
    all in behaving animals


    experimental rig development:
    * construction of a rotating platform that allows for simultaneous imaging of calcium signals using fluorescent markers as well as tracking wing motion in real-time
    * construction of a setup to capture high-speed video of freely flying flies in three dimensions and extract body and wing kinematics

    fly husbandry and maintenance of fly lines- running genetic screens

    Qualifications


    Essential Qualifications:
    * bachelor's degree and postbac research experience in Neuroscience, Physics, Engineering, or related field- proficiency in Programming- high-speed video acquisition and analysis- experimental apparatus construction


    Preferred Qualifications:
    * experience with tethered and free flight behavioral experiments, molecular techniques common in Drosophila, and single or multiphoton imaging are highly advantageous.- masters degree in Neuroscience, Physics, Engineering, or related field

    This position is subject to the University's background check policy.
