One of our research lines focuses on studying how different brain regions interact to shape our choices, and how the body, and movement in particular, influences what we decide. We combine behavioral tasks in animal models, in vivo electrophysiology, and computational modeling.

The postdoc will:
• Train animals in decision-making tasks
• Perform in vivo electrophysiological recordings
• Analyze behavioral and neural data, in close interaction with computational modeling

Requirements: PhD in Neuroscience, Biology, Psychology, Physics, Engineering, or a related field; demonstrable hands-on experience in electrophysiology; accreditation for animal experimentation; good written and spoken English.
Valued: experience training animals in behavioral tasks and programming skills (Python/MATLAB).

We offer a full-time contract for up to 2 years, with salary according to UMH scales, in a Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence a few minutes from the Mediterranean Sea.

To apply, please send your CV, a cover letter, and contact information for two references to emarcos@umh.es. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
