Postdoctoral Scientist – Reiser Lab

Build automated, higher-throughput systems for Drosophila behaviour and two-photon neurophysiology so that experiments can test hypotheses generated by complete fly wiring diagrams. The Reiser Lab studies how the fly brain turns visual input into behaviour; the postdoc develops adaptive, closed-loop protocols, analyses large behavioural and neural datasets against connectome-based models, and pursues their own circuit questions.

PhD in neuroscience, engineering, physics, computer science or another quantitative field; Drosophila experience is not required. A record of building methods or systems that produced high-quality data, strong scientific programming and large-dataset skills, and current hands-on experience with AI-assisted or agentic coding tools. Compensation for a first-year postdoc is $74,200 per year.
