Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellow
PVN ID: QC-1804-002442
Category: Research
Location: QUEENS COLLEGE

Job Description

General Description

Postdoc position available. My lab studies dopamine, decision-making and corticostriatal plasticity. The Beeler lab studies mouse genetic tools, fast-scan cyclic voltammetry, patch-clamp electrophyiosology, optogenetics and multiple behavioral paradigms, particularly semi-naturalistic, homecage operant paradigms. Exciting new directions are emerging in the lab and I am looking for a motivated postdoct to join. The position will involve learning more than one method/technique, including both physiological and behavioral methods, with a goal of linking phyiology and behavior as much as possible. The ideal candidate will have prior experience with at least one physiological method (cyclic voltammetry, electrophysiology, optogenetics, etc.) and willingness to learn and develop skills in other methods as appropriate to answer the question at hand.

Applicants need to complete the online application here. Questions may be directed to Jeff Beeler at jbeeler@qc.cuny.edu

Other Duties

None, the position is research focus. For postdocs interested in acquiring teaching responsibility, limited adjunct teaching opportunities are available but not part of the job. Although the job is not supervisory, postdocs naturally assume a leadership position in lab. The lab includes doctoral, masters and undergraduate students.

Qualifications

1. PhD

2. Experience in neuroscience research

3. Experience and skill in at least one physiological method (electrophysiology, optogenetics, cyclic voltammetry, fiber photometry, etc.)
