2. Postdoctoral Fellowship at
Emory University: In vivo electrophysiology of memory:
Applications are invited for an NIH-funded postdoctoral position to study
amygdala-hippocampus interactions in memory. The project utilizes in vivo
electrophysiology, neural stimulation (electrical and optogenetic), and
intracranial drug infusions in rats to ask how activation of the amygdala can
prioritize memory consolidation in the hippocampus. The position is
available now. The ideal applicant will have a Ph.D. in neuroscience or a
related discipline and will have relevant research experience in at least one
of the above techniques as evidenced by publications. Proficiency in
neural data analysis is also a plus. In addition to possessing technical
skills, the successful applicant will engage intellectually with advancing the
project. Salary will be based on NIH pay scales. Interested
applicants should email Dr. Joseph Manns at jmanns@emory.edu.
Please include a CV and cover letter that briefly describes your
research experience and future research interests. More information can
