The laboratory of Brendon Watson at the University of Michigan Medical School is searching for 1 full-time fully-funded postdoctoral fellow in systems neuroscience.

Our lab specializes in long-duration electrophysiology+behavior experiments to study electrophysiologic correlates of factors impacting mental health.

In these experiments, we are focusing recording daily rhythms in a diurnal rodent since they may provide translatability to human biology than typical nocturnal lab rodents. We combine long-duration recordings with complementary analyses of long-term state of network to try to better understand factors underlying psychiatric disorders and general neural processing.

We would train the postdoc in our specific techniques including EEG, silicon probe recordings, sleep scoring, EEG/LFP analyses, spike sorting, spiking analytics and automated behavior scoring. We will study both healthy animals and disease models.

Ideal applicants will have experience in a combination of rodent electrophysiologic recordings, rodent behavior, and coding (MATLAB or Python).

Interested applicants please reply to bren...@umich.edu, Please include CV, letter of intent/summary of background and copies of published articles relevant to your application.
