Postdoc Opportunities in Electrophysiology

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...

The postdoctoral researcher will join the El Manira laboratory in the Department of Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet, working on how diversity in neurons and neural circuits within the central nervous system controls the versatility of motor behavior. The project combines advanced experimental approaches to connect neuronal function, circuit dynamics, and behavior. The laboratory uses electrophysiology, optogenetics, imaging, and molecular biology, giving the researcher the opportunity to c...

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, ...

The University of Birmingham is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Psychology, based at the Centre for Human Brain Health in Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK. The fixed-term appointment runs until November 2028 and carries a starting salary of £36,636–£46,049, with potential progression to £48,822. Working with Professor Ron Mangun and the wider research team, the postholder will contribute to human cognitive neuroscience research on visual processing and attention, re...
