Postdoctoral scholarship in Integrative Neurophysiology – focusing on corticostriatal circuits and control of behavior

A two-year full-time scholarship investigates corticostriatal control of behaviour and changes in Parkinson’s disease and levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Experimental projects may combine cortical-input manipulation with striatal activity measurements, two-photon imaging, in vivo patch-clamp, optogenetics and electrophysiology. The fellow develops questions and leads experiments and publications with Per Petersson’s group. Start date is by agreement.

PhD in neuroscience, physiology or a related field and experience in experimental in vivo physiology, including at least one advanced in vivo method. Experience across every listed method is not required. A relevant doctorate must be completed by the scholarship decision. The advert gives priority under a three-year doctorate rule and allows earlier degrees for specified circumstances including illness, parental leave, union duties, military service or comparable assignments. Good English and independent collaborative research skills are required. Submit a brief cover letter, CV/publications and two referees through Varbi.
