Chicago, Illinois, United States Northwestern University Full time
Postdoctoral Research Position in Neurology

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Department of Neurology. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Marc Slutzky on an exciting project investigating functional brain mapping for neurosurgery.

Project Overview

The project aims to understand the effects of electrocortical stimulation (ECS) on cortical neurons and networks. ECS has been used for decades as a tool to identify eloquent areas of the cortex to avoid resecting during brain surgeries, yet its mechanisms are still not fully understood. This project will involve collaborations with the Miri and Contractor labs at Northwestern, as well as with Johns Hopkins University, Indiana University, and the University of Iowa.

Responsibilities
  • Perform two-photon calcium imaging experiments with simultaneous ECS to understand ECS' effects on different cortical layers.
  • Use designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) and transgenic animals to examine ECS' effects on different cortical cell types.
  • Analyze data, synthesize results, and publish papers.
Requirements
  • PhD in neuroscience, neurobiology, physiology, biomedical engineering, or related field.
  • Experience working with awake laboratory animals strongly preferred.
  • At least some experience with 2-photon calcium imaging.
Benefits

Northwestern University offers a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plans, and tuition discounts. We also provide opportunities for professional growth and development, including training and education programs.

Northwestern University is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer of all protected classes, including veterans and individuals with disabilities. Women, racial and ethnic minorities, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are encouraged to apply.
