Mission of our research team is to understand how sensory information is processed by brain circuits, with emphasis on hearing. We are particularly interested in state-dependent and cell-type-specific information processing in the auditory system. The successful candidate will be expected to investigate this issue by combining in vivo electrophysiological, optogenetic and behavioural approaches in transgenic mice.
Candidates should have a PhD in the field of neuroscience or related disciplines. Experience in at least one of the following areas is desirable: in vivo neurophysiology, computational neuroscience, and optogenetics. Experience with programming (e.g., MATLAB) and/or knowledge of neural coding would be advantageous. Start date is negotiable.
Applicants should send a CV and a summary of their specific interests in our research team to Dr. Shuzo Sakata, email: shuzo.sakata@strath.ac.uk.
