Postdoc position(s):
The Schaeffer lab is seeking applications for highly motivated postdocs who are interested in working in the field of marmoset neuroscience.
The laboratory is housed in a brand-new, state-of-the-art neuroimaging facility complete with a 9.4 Tesla MRI, focused ultrasound, small-bore PET/CT, electrophysiology, optical imaging (2-photon, wide-field), behavioral assays, and the means to conduct histology. This suite of instruments has been fitted for marmoset-specific use and is dedicated to imaging (fully awake) marmosets.
In this highly collaborative environment, the successful candidate will take a supporting role in supervising ongoing NIH-funded research projects and develop independent projects focused on mapping social and cognitive function in the marmoset. They will regularly interact with the growing community of neuroscience researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.
