The Schröder Lab <https://www.sussex.ac.uk/research/labs/schroeder-lab/>(Vision and Behaviour) at the University of Sussex, UK, offers a position for a *Postdoctoral researcher*** to study information processing in the early visual system of mice using two-photon imaging, electrophysiology (Neuropixels probes), and opto- and chemogenetic manipulations. The lab’s goal is to determine how behavioural and internal states like arousal are integrated with visual responses in the retina and superior colliculus. We want to discover the underlying mechanisms and the purpose of this integration in terms of visual processing and the animal’s behavioural demands. This paper describes our previous findings. *Your profile* ·Phd degree in neuroscience or in physics, computer science or engineering with a keen interest in neuroscience ·You will take ownership of the project and drive it forward ·Experience in experimental biology and quantitative data analysis including programming in Python, Matlab or a similar language ·Experience with two-photon imaging and/or extracellular electrophysiology desirable *Our offer to you* The Schröder lab opens its doors in January 2021. The candidate will have the opportunity: ·to make use of the lab’s own two-photon microscopy and Neuropixels recording setups ·to benefit from the PI’s active support in research and her mentoring in career development ·to learn essential skills in organising and setting up a lab ·to shape the research culture of the lab based on the values of scientific excellence, team work, and diversity ·to collaborate with other labs within Sussex Neuroscience <https://www.sussex.ac.uk/research/centres/sussex-neuroscience/>with expertise visual and other sensory systems, mouse behaviour, techniques of two-photon imaging and electrophysiology, and computational neuroscience *Start date*: January 2021 or later *Contract*: for 2 years initially, funding available for 5 years (through Sir Henry Dale Fellowship, Wellcome Trust) *Location*: campus is just outside Brighton at the coast of South East England, surrounded by South Downs National Park, 1 h from London See**the ***job advertisement <https://www.sussex.ac.uk/about/jobs/research-fellow-in-neuroscience-4726>* for details on how to apply.
