The Opportunity:

Postdoctoral researcher sought for investigation into cortical predictive processing.

We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher to conduct basic research into cortical and neuromodulatory computation in mice, by utilizing novel virtual reality tasks, alongside in vivo 2-photon calcium imaging and optogenetics.

You will conduct research aimed at investigating prediction error responses and computation performed by the cortex in behaving mice. This will involve developing novel virtual reality tasks for probing perception and learning and using 2-photon calcium imaging and optogenetics to record from and manipulate cortical circuit elements and assess their computatio...
