We are seeking a talented postdoctoral researcher for our collaborative BRAIN Initiative project to study behavioral readouts of spatiotemporal codes using holographic optogenetics. The project will advance and apply a new technology for spatiotemporal patterned control of multiple neurons in the peripheral olfactory system and use behavioral responses to test how these patterns are being read. 

An ideal candidate should have a background in neuroscience, physics and math. Knowledge and experience in computer-generated holography, mutliphoton imaging and/or nonlinear optics are a big plus.

The work will be carried out at the NYU Neuroscience Institute with possible visits to the Technion; the candidate will gain both from NYU’s thriving neuroscience community and from the Technion’s excellence in advanced technology development. Interested applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and arrange for reference letters to be sent to Dr. Dmitry Rinberg (rinberg@nyu.edu).
