About this position
Duke University’s Department of Neurobiology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study multiplexing in the primate brain—how fluctuating activity in individual neurons and across neural populations can encode more than one signal at the same time.
The project uses Neuropixels to record neural activity in cortical regions, currently including the auditory cortex, with potential expansion to other cortical structures such as the visual cortex. The research focuses on neural representations of multiple stimuli and combines experimental neurophysiology with quantitative analysis.
The work is collaborative with the laboratory of Surya Tokdar in Duke’s Department of Statistical Science, providing an interdisciplinary environment spanning neurobiology, primate neuroscience, and statistical methods. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct neurophysiological studies involving non-human primates, analyze and present findings at conferences, publish in peer-reviewed journals, mentor junior colleagues, and assist with monkey care and related experiments as needed.
The position is based on-site within the Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina, a collaborative research environment that connects fundamental scientific discovery with broader challenges in health and science.
