Postdoc position in the development of light field imaging technologies for recording neural activity The Goodhill lab at Washington University in St Louis is looking for a postdoc scientist for an NIH-funded project to develop novel microscopy methods for whole-brain calcium imaging in freely-behaving zebrafish. The ideal candidate will be experienced in building new optical imaging technologies, and interested in leveraging these skills to help push the frontiers of neural recording across large numbers of neurons simultaneously. Prior experience in neuroscience is not essential. The lab focuses on the computational principles underlying the development of neural circuits and behavior. The goal of this project is to construct light-field imaging techniques to record the activity of ~100,000 neurons in the larval zebrafish brain during unconstrained hunting behavior. This is a collaboration with Oliver Cossairt at Northwestern University and Florian Willomitzer at the University of Arizona, and you will be working with students and postdocs from a diverse array of backgrounds including biology, mathematics, physics and engineering. Washington University in St Louis is ranked in the top 10 institutions globally for Neuroscience and Behavior, and offers an outstanding intellectual environment for research in both neuroscience and imaging (see e.g. https://engineering.wustl.edu/academics/programs/imaging-science). The Goodhill lab will soon move along with over 100 other labs into Washington University's new start-of-the-art 600,000 sq ft Neuroscience Research Building (https://neuroscience.wustl.edu/research/neuroscience-building). For more information about St Louis see https://explorestlouis.com. To apply please send a detailed CV and cover letter explaining your interest to g.goodhill@wustl.edu. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
