Subject: [AUDITORY] Post-Doc position available in cellular/systems auditory neuroscience From: "Apostolides, Pierre" <piaposto@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 09:52:35 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_4347ea468d984b5baa654e8f4bd8e96bmedumichedu_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The Apostolides Lab (www.apostolideslab.org<http://www.apostolideslab.org/>= ) at the University of Michigan is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fe= llows to understand the synaptic and cellular bases of auditory perception.= Our primary techniques are patch-clamp electrophysiology and 2-photon imag= ing in brain slices and in behaving mice. Multiple projects are running and= ready for the right person to dive in and make high impact contributions t= o science. This position is ideal for a brain slice electrophysiologist interested in = expanding their skillset to in vivo approaches, or someone trained in anima= l behavior who is eager to learn cutting edge microscopy techniques. Key questions we want to answer are: -How do neural circuits extract meaningful information from noisy or ambigu= ous auditory signals? -How do long-range descending projections in the central auditory system co= ntrol perception? -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 auditory function? -What are the cellular mechanisms governing synaptic plasticity in animal m= odels of hearing disorders? The Apostolides Lab is the newest member of the Kresge Hearing Research Ins= titute (KHRI), University of Michigan Medical School. KHRI and the neurosc= ience community at the U-M provide a highly supportive and diverse research= environment and excellent career development opportunities for postdoctora= l fellows. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS 1. Ph.D. and/or M.D. in neuroscience or related field. 2. Experience in patch clamp electrophysiology, 2-photon imaging, animal= behavior, and/or acoustics/auditory psychophysics is preferred. 3. Detail-oriented, quantitative mindset and experience with programming= (Matlab, python, or R) is critical. 4. Strong organizational, leadership skills and passion for scientific d= iscovery. 5. Exceptional ability to work independently and be self-motivated to co= mplete projects. 6. Willingness to learn new techniques. 7. Excellent oral and written communication skills.
