Job Description:

The Li Laboratory in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine is seeking creative and motivated postdoctoral fellows. We seek to understand how neuropeptides modulate circuit activity shaping behavior, and how these modulatory signals become maladaptive following stress exposure or the use of substances of abuse.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead research projects focused on how neuropeptidergic signals interact with neural circuits and regulate emotion and motivated behavior
  • Design and perform circuit dissection and behavior experiments
  • Explore and analyze large-scale neural data using machine learning methods
  • Collaborate with computational and theoretical researchers

Requirements:

  • Creative and motivated
  • Experience in designing and performing circuit dissection and behavior experiments
  • Experience in exploring and analyzing large-scale neural data using machine learning methods
