Subject:

Dear Colleague,

I hope all is well. I have an opening for a postdoctoral research associate in my lab, to investigate the physiological/molecular mechanisms of the loss of synaptic plasticity in the visual cortex with age, and recovery by visual deprivation.

I would greatly appreciate you forwarding the attached announcement to potential applicants.

Thank you!
Betsy

loss of synaptic plasticity in the rodent visual cortex with age, and recovery by visual deprivation.

Candidates should have:
* PhD or equivalent in neuroscience, physiology, or a related field
* Experience with neuronal recording methods (ephys or Ca2+ imaging)
* Experience with MATLAB scientific computing software
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills

The ideal candidate will have:
* Experience with in vivo physiological recordings in awake mice
* Experience with viral-mediated gene delivery and optogenetic tools
* Strong background in systems neuroscience
* The ability to work independently, as well as collaboratively

The Quinlan Lab is member of the Brain and Behavior Institute of the University of Maryland, College Park,
and offers a rich postdoctoral training environment in sensory neuroscience.
