Postdoctoral Fellow: Learning

7 days ago


Stanford, United States Raymond Laboratory of Neurobiology at Stanford University Full time

The Raymond lab is seeking creative scientists to contribute to our efforts to uncover the neural mechanisms of learning and memory.

The lab uses combinations of molecular, cellular, systems, behavioral, and computational approaches to build a more integrative understanding of the principles governing learning.

   - What are the rules that determine whether a given synapse will change in response to an experience?

   - How do the local rules implemented at synapses throughout a circuit together define an effective algorithm for tuning that circuit’s performance?

   - How do different timescales of plasticity and consolidation support learning?

Recently, we have become increasingly interested in metaplasticity. We discovered a new form of synaptic metaplasticity, temporal metaplasticity, and are investigating its role in improving the way a circuit learns, i.e., in metalearning.

We are seeking motivated postdocs to join us in these exciting scientific efforts.

Candidates should have a PhD in neuroscience or related discipline. Experience with in vitro or in vivo electrophysiology is desirable, but not necessary. Lab members are encouraged to learn new techniques as needed to advance their projects.

The PI is committed to providing the strong mentorship and support needed for postdocs to achieve their scientific and professional goals; the lab provides a highly collegial scientific environment; and the broader Stanford community provides unsurpassed opportunities for collaboration and professional development.  

Interested individuals should send a brief cover letter describing experience and goals, a CV, and the names and contact information for three references to Professor Jennifer Raymond: jenr@stanford.edu.
