Our primary techniq= ues are patch-clamp electrophysiology and 2-photon imaging in brain slices = and in behaving mice. Key questions we want to answer are: -How do neural circuits extract meaningful information from noisy or ambigu= ous sensory signals? -How do =93higher order=94, associational brain regions control the encodin= g of behaviorally relevant auditory information in =93primary=94 sensory re= gions? -To what extent do neuromodulators such as serotonin, noradrenaline and ace= tylcholine control specific cell-types in central auditory circuits, and wh= at are the consequences for central auditory function? -What are the cellular mechanisms governing synaptic plasticity in animal m= odels of hearing disorders? Qualifications: You should have (or be close to completing) a Ph.D. and/or M.D., a passion = for scientific discovery, and experience with patch-clamp electrophysiology= , 2-photon imaging, animal behavior, and/or acoustics/auditory psychophysic= s. A detail-oriented, quantitative mindset and experience with scientific p= rogramming is critical.
