Postdoc positions

  • New imaging technologies: We have a position for a postdoc with a strong background in optical physics to develop new imaging techniques based on light field microscopy for observing brain activity in freely-moving zebrafish. To apply please send a CV and cover letter explaining your interest to Prof Goodhill.
  • Modeling sleep: We have a position for a postdoc with a strong background in computational neuroscience to analyze and model the neural circuits underlying sleep, based on data from whole-brain imaging of zebrafish. To apply please send a CV and cover letter explaining your interest to Prof Goodhill.
  • Zebrafish models of autism spectrum disorders: We have a position for a postdoc with a background in understanding autism spectrum disorders using animal models. They will conduct behavioral and neural imaging experiments in zebrafish to better understand how mutations in genes associated with autism affect the early development of neural circuits. To apply please send a CV and cover letter explaining your interest to Prof Goodhill.
