Postdoctoral Associate
$63.48k - $65kVirginia Department of Human Resource Management
Postdoctoral Associate
The Halassa lab invites applications for a Postdoctoral Associate position at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute (FBRI) at Virginia Tech Carilion (VTC). The lab integrates state-of-the-art neural recording technologies, complex cognitive tasks, and computational models to investigate the neural basis of flexible cognition. From basic functional circuit dissection in animals to human clinical studies, we ask how network disruptions cause cognitive deficits in neuropsychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. In addition to making fundamental discoveries (e.g. how thalamocortical interactions implement attentional control and task switching), we aim to understand these processes well enough to develop targeted, precision treatments for patients. The successful candidate will lead projects investigating these brain functions in rodent and tree shrew (Tupaia Belangeri) models, receiving direct mentorship from the Principal Investigator alongside guidance from senior research personnel.
Key Responsibilities
- Experimental Design: Develop and optimize behavioral and physiological paradigms targeting brain networks.
- Data Collection: Conduct in vivo neurophysiological recordings and behavioral assays in mice and tree shrews.
- Data Analysis: Process large-scale neural datasets, applying computational tools to model behavioral and neural data.
- Dissemination: Write high-quality manuscripts and present findings at national and international conferences.
- Grantsmanship: Write fellowship applications and assist with the preparation of grant proposals.
Required Qualifications
- PhD in Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Psychology, or a closely related quantitative field. PhD must be awarded no more than four years prior to the effective date of appointment with a minimum of one year eligibility remaining.
- Prior experience working with animal models (rodents or other mammalian models).
- Evidence of scientific productivity through peer-reviewed publications or preprints.
- Must wear protective/safety protection with the ability to stand, stoop, bend, and walk for long periods.
Preferred Qualifications
- Strong analytical and computational background.
- Proficiency in spike train analysis and neural decoding methods.
- Advanced programming skills in MATLAB, Python, or R.
- Experience with surgical procedures and in vivo recording techniques (e.g., electrophysiology or calcium imaging).
