Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Systems Neuroscience

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our team at the University of Toronto. The successful candidate will be working on a CIHR-funded project investigating hippocampal-neocortical interactions essential for memory processes.

The selected 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.

Responsibilities:
  • Design and execute experiments using calcium imaging techniques and chemogenetic interventions
  • Analyze data using Matlab/Python and histological analysis
  • Collaborate with the research team to achieve project goals
  • Mentor graduate and undergraduate students
Requirements:
  • Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Neurobiology, or related field within the last five years
  • Experience in stereotaxic surgeries, viral vector gene delivery optimization, and histological analysis
  • Proficiency in fiber photometry, optogenetics, or data analysis with Matlab/Python
  • Excellent communication and organization skills
What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • Opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project in systems neuroscience
  • Collaborative research environment

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a one-page summary of research interests, and names and contact details of three referees to Dr. Kaori Takehara-Nishiuchi by email.
