Old Toronto, Ontario, Canada Canadian Association for Neuroscience Full time
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Systems Neuroscience

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our team at the University of Toronto. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to our research on hippocampal-neocortical interactions essential for memory processes.

The successful candidate will lead a project employing cutting-edge calcium imaging techniques, including miniaturized microscope and fiber photometry, alongside targeted chemogenetic interventions in murine models. This research aims to uncover the contribution of the lateral entorhinal cortex to modulating hippocampal and prefrontal ensemble dynamics supporting memory encoding and retrieval.

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in neuroscience, neurobiology, or a related field, and experience in stereotaxic surgeries, viral vector gene delivery optimization, and histological analysis. Experience with fiber photometry, optogenetics, or data analysis with Matlab/Python is an asset. The candidate should also be able to mentor graduate and undergraduate students.

We offer a competitive salary and a collaborative environment where each member's contribution is vital to our collective success. The position will initially be for one year with the possibility of renewal.

To apply, please submit a) a curriculum vitae including a publication list, b) a one-page summary of research interests, and c) names and contact details of three referees to Dr. Kaori Takehara-Nishiuchi by email (kaori.nishiuchi@utoronto.ca).
