Posting Summary
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow for the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine (CABM) located on the Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences Campus in Piscataway, NJ.
The Oldenburg Laboratory at CABM is seeking an outstanding Postdoc to join an exciting neuroscience project developing and utilizing new optical and molecular tools to study neural circuits.
The Oldenburg Lab uses and develops advanced microscopy techniques, including multiphoton holographic optogenetics and calcium imaging in awake head fixed mice, to understand how groups of neurons work together to enact motor actions.
By using our novel techniques, that can drive precise patterns of activity distributed across many neurons, we can test different theories of the 'population code', gaining a causal understanding of how population activity drives actions.
The postdoc will work with the PI to develop an independent project, that leverages the expertise of the lab and the skills and interests of the postdoc.
In addition to multiphoton imaging and multiphoton optogenetics, projects may also involve animal training, electrical and optical engineering, electrophysiology, molecular biology, and/or computational analyses.
The fellow will have the opportunity to guide the research of an undergraduate research assistant, if desired.Mentorship is a core mission of the Oldenburg Lab. All members of the lab are expected to be helpful and supportive of each other.
The PI will endeavor to do what he can to help each member succeed, both within the lab and when they eventually move on.
As such, every member of the lab is encouraged to explore that which interests them and to share their specific expertise.
In addition, the postdoc will have the opportunity to attend scientific conferences and learn appropriate scientific methods and procedures.Among the key duties of this position are the following:
