About this position

Rutgers University is recruiting a Post Doctoral Associate in the Brain Health Institute within Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS), based at Piscataway, New Jersey. This is a full-time, fully on-site research position focused on neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, stress and reward circuitry, orexin biology, and neuropsychiatric disorders.

The project examines how the orexin system interacts with stress and reward circuits to better understand disorders involving memory and decision-making, depression, substance abuse, and addiction propensity. The postdoc will use advanced behavioral, chemogenetic, pharmacological, anatomic, and immunohistochemical approaches in rodent models, including orexin-cre rats, local microinjections, conditioned place preference, learning and memory tasks, intracerebral infusions, and stereotaxic brain surgery.

Eligibility highlights include a PhD in Neuroscience, Biological Sciences, or a relevant field, plus 3 years of related research experience. Applicants should also have a strong publication record, specifically first author on two or more published works. The posting emphasizes laboratory research productivity, data presentation at lab and scientific meetings, and detailed record keeping.

Funding information listed on the posting includes a salary of $64,000, with the final offer dependent on qualifications, experience, expertise, and available department or grant funds. Rutgers also notes a comprehensive benefits package for eligible employees.
