    Requisition #: 31807


    Job Summary:
    The BIOElectrics lab, a translational neuroscience research group led by Dr. Cristin Welle, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our team.

    Our group investigates neuroelectronic interfaces, and this project focuses on the effect of vagus nerve stimulation on motor learning, cortical plasticity and rehabilitation.

    Our approach combines chronic VNS with optogenetics, in vivo two-photon imaging, electrophysiology and skilled motor tasks in the mouse model system.

    We are seeking creative neuroscientist or neural engineer with a background in motor control, systems neuroscience or related fields. Prior experience with animal models, survival surgery, programming, designing and implementing closed-loop systems and in vivo imaging are desired.

    The BIOElectrics lab spans clinical and engineering departments, and is an active part of the Neuroscience Program. As such, the research project includes both basic and translational neuroscience work. We are a creative, collaborative lab with a focus on support and career development. This position has a competitive starting salary and great mountain views at the new Anschutz Medical Center in Denver.

    Duration:
    Minimum of 1 year with advancement to the second year dependent upon satisfactory progress during the first year. The appointment may be extended beyond 1 year contingent on funding and satisfactory performance.


    Key Responsibilities:


    The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for measuring cortical structural and functional dynamics using multiphoton in vivo imaging in response to closed-loop optogenetic or electrical stimulation in behaving animals.

    This includes designing and conducting experiments, data analysis, manuscript preparation, conference presentations and applying for fellowships/grants.
