University of British Columbia Murphy lab:  PDF and Graduate students
wanted, automated in vivo imaging and optogenetics in mouse cortex. 

The Murphy lab at the University of British Columbia is looking for both
graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to join a dynamic research team
focused on the function of mouse cortex in both normal brain as well as
models of stroke and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Applicants should have experience in quantitative methods and computer
programming and/or behavioral neuroscience.  Software systems include both
data acquisition and analysis using Python or/and Matlab. Current projects
evolve around automated brain imaging/interventions using mouse home cages

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4909937/. The lab has a fully
equipped maker space with a 3D printer and electronics and other hardware
fabrication facilities. Future work includes integration of behavioral
tasks, including go-, no-go- and fine motor control with automated brain
imaging and optogenetic stimulation or inhibition. Projects are focused
around two major disease areas, which include stroke and mouse models of
neuropsychiatric disorders. The laboratory is part of the UBC Centre for
Brain Health and the Graduate program in Neuroscience. These entities form a
vibrant research community. Applicants are encouraged to apply directly to
Tim Murphy and after an initial application are expected to include 3
letters of reference plus an undergraduate and graduate transcript.  Salary
and stipends are consistent with Canadian granting standards.
