We have a PostDoc position available in the Motor Systems Neuroscience and Neural Engineering Laboratory (www.gulatilab.org). Our laboratory is part of the newly formed Center of Neural Science at Cedars-Sinai, Los Angeles (website: https://www.cedars-sinai.org/research/areas/neural-science.html).

Ideal candidates would hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering/ Neuroscience or a related discipline. Candidates will use a combination of systems neuroscience & neural engineering methods, together with optogenetic/ other causal manipulation of networks (intact/ injured) sub serving skilled motor behavior. One of the immediate goals is to record from motor cortex and cerebellum together as rodents learn a reaching task. Postdoc will also participate in manuscript preparation, present data at conferences, and get an opportunity to mentor grad students/ RAs and research interns in the lab.

Experience in one or more of the following domains is highly preferred: Matlab/ Python Programming, Animal Training, Neurophysiology. Possibilities exist to be involved in rodent/ clinical research.

Interested candidates should contact me with their CV, a letter stating their interests & experiences, and contact information for 2-3 references.
