Postdoctoral Position in In Vivo Analysis of Basal Ganglia Circuit Function

Postdoctoral Position in In Vivo Analysis of Basal Ganglia Circuit Function

Location: University of Pennsylvania – Fuccillo Lab

Open Date: Jan 16, 2026

Deadline:

The Fuccillo Lab at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking postdoctoral fellows to join our teamand contribute to projects investigating how rodentcortico-basal ganglia circuits control valence-, outcome- and sensory-guided actions and how these processes aredisrupted 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

• Preferred skills include:
  • In vivo extracellular recording
  • In vivo calcium imaging
  • Large-scale data analysis
  • Acute slice electrophysiology

PhD, MD, or MD/PhD required.
