About this position

Rutgers University–New Brunswick is recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate in the Center for Advanced Biotechnology & Medicine (CABM) within Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS), located in Piscataway, New Jersey, United States.

The position is in the Oldenburg Lab under Dr. Ian Oldenburg and focuses on neuroscience, especially neural circuits, neural activity, and the role of population codes in guiding and initiating motor actions. The project uses advanced optical and molecular tools, including multiphoton holographic optogenetics and calcium imaging in awake head-fixed mice. The postdoc will help develop an independent project leveraging the lab’s expertise and may also work in areas such as animal training, electrical and optical engineering, electrophysiology, molecular biology, and computational analyses.

Key responsibilities include carrying out multiphoton optogenetic manipulation and imaging, conducting rodent surgeries and training, maintaining laboratory instrumentation and computers, preparing manuscripts, contributing to grant and fellowship applications, and supervising an undergraduate research assistant.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Optical Physics/Engineering, Molecular Biology, or a related science. ABD candidates may be considered if they meet the requirements. The posting asks for prior research productivity, experience with modern analytical neuroscience techniques, and strong spoken and written English. Preferred experience includes optics, in vivo imaging, mouse genetics, electrophysiology, molecular biology, computational analyses, and mentoring.

The role is full-time, fully on-site, and offers a minimum salary of $63,968 for calendar year appointments, plus Rutgers benefits for eligible employees. The post does not list a closing deadline. Interested candidates should apply through the Rutgers jobs portal using the official posting link.
