Post-Doc position: Dynamics of brain activity in addiction and compulsive reward-seeking
Responsible for electrophysiological recordings in behaving animals (rats) using rodent models of reward-seeking and addiction.
One year, starting immediately
Location: Madrid-Spain
Dedication: Full time
Experience with in vivo electrophysiological recordings in freely behaving animals is required.
It would be an asset if the incumbent has some experience with the Skinner box, but is not required (teaching will be provided).
Data analysis will involve the scrutiny of brain dynamic patterns in the rodents’ brains during addictive behaviours, using MATLAB codes already available from the investigators. Experience with basic data analysis will be an advantage as well.
