PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Electrophysiology in United States

New Jersey Institute of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Dr. Jorge Golowasch to launch a new research direction at the intersection of plant natural products chemistry and translational neuroscience. The project focuses on the bioactivity of plant-derived natural products against neuroinflammation , including THC-like compounds identified in liverworts. The appointee will help build and carry out a screening pipeline to test candidate compounds in relevant cellular s...

This doctoral fellowship is hosted by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) in Silver Spring, Maryland. The project sits within the Blast Induced Neurotrauma (BINT) Branch and focuses on understanding how repeated exposure to tactical training environments may affect the human brain even when there is no diagnosable injury. The fellow will join a small, experienced research and engineering group that has spent the past decade...

USAMRICD Neuroscience Research Opportunity at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense, located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, offers two postgraduate/postdoctoral fellowship placements within a defense-focused research environment. The project is embedded in the institute’s mission as the Department of Defense’s lead laboratory for medical chemical defense research. Fellows will work in either Dr. Lucille Lumley’s neuroscience laboratory or Dr. Michael Adler’s laborat...

The University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to join a neurovascular imaging laboratory led by the Tran Lab. The project focuses on how neural cells communicate with vascular cells within the neurovascular unit to regulate blood flow and match moment-to-moment metabolic demands in the brain. The successful postdoctoral researcher will carry out independent experiments on neurovascular coupling and cerebral blood flow regulation. The work combines delicate s...

This postdoctoral associate position in the Ni Lab at Virginia Tech focuses on the study of thermosensory systems in insects. The researcher will investigate molecular, cellular, and circuit-level mechanisms across multiple insect species, contributing to a project that spans sensory biology from the molecular scale to neural circuits. The role is designed for an independent and collaborative researcher who can contribute to peer-reviewed publications and external presentations while working clo...

The Halassa lab at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at Virginia Tech Carilion invites applications for a postdoctoral associate to study the neural basis of flexible cognition. The project combines state-of-the-art neural recording technologies, complex cognitive tasks, and computational models to understand how brain networks support attentional control and task switching, and how disruptions in these circuits may contribute to neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. The succe...

Postdoctoral Scholar positions are occasionally available throughout the year in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at the University of California, Irvine , within the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences . The appointment is described as being under the sponsorship of faculty members in Neurobiology and Behavior, indicating a postdoctoral research environment embedded in an active academic department and school. The posting is broad rather than tied to a single named project, ...

Fully Funded PhD Position in Motor Neuroscience and Kinesiology Louisiana State University’s College of Human Sciences & Education, School of Kinesiology, and Motor Neuroscience Laboratory are seeking a PhD student for Fall 2027. The thesis will investigate how the brain learns new skills, makes decisions during movement, and how neurological disease affects learning. The research will use methods including electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and electromyograp...

Baylor College of Medicine is recruiting a Research Associate in Electrophysiology for the St-Pierre Lab in the Neuroscience Division in Houston, Texas, United States. This onsite research position focuses on developing and applying tools for monitoring and manipulating brain activity with millisecond-scale temporal resolution. The successful researcher will characterize light-responsive proteins, including genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs), which report voltage changes through fluo...
