About this position
This postdoctoral appointment at the University of Miami is centered on neuroscience research in physiology and biophysics, with a strong emphasis on how nerve cells communicate and how brain circuits are regulated. The position is embedded in an academic medical environment at UHealth / the Miller School of Medicine and offers the opportunity to contribute to research spanning synaptic signaling, neuronal recording, and translational studies of neurological and psychiatric disease.
The successful candidate will work on projects that combine patch-clamp electrophysiology with imaging approaches, genetically encoded sensors, and optogenetics to investigate brain function. The role also includes behavioral studies using genetically modified mouse models, live-cell imaging, and molecular and cellular biology methods. The research program extends to drug discovery efforts and to biological mechanisms underlying addiction, movement disorders, and learning disabilities.
This is a collaborative, multidisciplinary setting in which the postdoctoral associate is expected to plan, conduct, analyze, and report experiments, prepare research outputs, and contribute to the scientific community. The work environment highlights experimental neuroscience, protein and signaling pathway investigation, and cross-team collaboration within a large research and healthcare institution.
