Description
The Fuccillo Lab at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking postdoctoral fellows to join our team and contribute to projects investigating how rodent cortico-basal ganglia circuits control valence-, outcome- and sensory-guided actions, and how these processes are disrupted in genetic neurodevelopmental disorder models (including autism, OCD, ADHD, and intellectual disability).
Postdocs will work in a collaborative environment using a range of approaches, including:
- In vivo recording and imaging techniques during behavior
- Quantitative behavioral modeling
- Ex vivo biophysical measures of neural circuit function
- Molecular, genetic and viral tools
