The Department of Computational Neuroethology is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong interest in exploring circuit mechanisms of cognitive behaviors in the transparent fish, Danionella cerebrum. This species provides an opportunity to identify neuronal circuits underlying learned and social behaviors in an adult vertebrate organism spanning the entire brain from retina to spinal cord. Our lab has recently established that Danionella are capable of context-dependent spatial navigation and we are interested in building upon and extending these observations with novel behavioral paradigms. In parallel, we have established an electron microscopy-based connectomics pipeline to rapidly collect and analyze entire brains at nanometer resolution following whole-brain pan-neuronal calcium imaging. This project aims to develop mechanistic models of cognitive behaviors that are constrained by neuronal function and synaptic wiring. Candidates should have a strong background in neuroscience or related field and ideally have prior experience in behavioral analysis, multiphoton imaging and/or connectomic methods.
