[visionlist] Postdoc opening: Smith Lab - University of Minnesota, Minneapolis MN

[Gordon Smith]

Postdoc opening: Smith Lab - University of Minnesota, Minneapolis MN



The Smith lab at the University of Minnesota is seeking a motivated and
talented postdoctoral researcher to study the development of large-scale
networks in the developing visual cortex. Our lab employs optical
approaches to study the mechanisms of cortical network formation in the
developing brain. We have recently obtained funding to use wide-field and
2-photon optogenetics to investigate how perturbations of early network
function impact development.


Preferred candidates will have a Ph.D. or equivalent in neuroscience,
biology, or related field, and experience in one or more of the following
areas: multiphoton imaging, optogenetics, calcium imaging, *in vivo
*electrophysiology,
and / or analysis of large-scale datasets. Applicants without prior
experience in these areas but with a strong interest in systems
neuroscience and applying optical approaches to investigate circuit
function are also encouraged to apply.


Please apply by sending a cover letter stating your interest in the
project, your CV, and a brief research statement (1-2 pages) as a *single
pdf* to Gordon Smith (gbsmith at umn.edu), with the subject line “Smith Lab
Postdoc 2025”. References will be requested after initial review.


This is a fully funded multi-year position with excellent benefits. Salary
will be commensurate with experience, and will meet or exceed NIH levels.


Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the
position is filled.
