​
Postdoctoral Fellow
​We are interested in hearing from potential postdoctoral fellows who want to study the neural circuit mechanisms in awake-behaving gerbils. The incumbent will work on a project dedicated to investigating the neural mechanisms of auditory decision-making. The laboratory uses a variety of state-of-the-art tools and techniques to examine the neural substrates of awake-behaving gerbils performing an auditory or audiovisual task. These include sophisticated psychophysical paradigms, high-channel count electrophysiological recordings, optogenetics, DREADDs, and sophisticated computational analytic approaches.

Applicants must have a PhD in Neuroscience or a relevant field (e.g., Psychology, Biology, Pharmacology, Engineering, etc) with specialized skills in animal behavior.


If interested, please email your CV to [email protected].

Graduate Student
​​We are always interested in hearing from enthusiastic students looking to join the lab! Eligible students should be a member of the Psychology Graduate Program or the Graduate Program in Neuroscience at Rutgers University.
If interested, or have questions, you can contact [email protected].

​
​Laboratory Technician
​We are seeking a highly motivated applicant to join our team as a full-time laboratory technician. The incumbent will have the opportunity to gain experience with a number of experimental techniques, including awake-behaving neurophysiology, chemogenetics, and optogenetics while conducting behavioral experiments in gerbils to study the neural mechanisms of auditory decision-making. The incumbent will also be responsible for managing daily laboratory activities.

Applicants must have a BS or BA in Neuroscience or a relevant field (e.g., Psychology, Biology, Pharmacology, Engineering, etc).


If interested, please email your CV to [email protected].
