postdoc opportunity in Cambridge
Dear All, We are looking for a postdoc to study the neural circuits and computational mechanisms of visual decision-making, learning, and attention, in a collaborative project in the labs of Jasper Poort and Máté Lengyel, based at the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge. The project combines two-photon imaging, electrophysiology and optogenetic manipulation of different cell types and neural projections in visual and decision-making brain areas to understand how mice learn to become experts in different visually-guided decision-making tasks and flexibly switch attention between tasks. We are looking for candidates with advanced data analysis skills and experience with computational modelling, and previous experience in electrophysiology, two-photon imaging, optogenetics, and behaviour in mice. For more information about the labs see https://www.pdn.cam.ac.uk/svl/ and https://lengyellab.org/ . Informal enquiries about the position can be made to Jasper Poort (jp816@cam.ac.uk) and for further info about the position see https://www.cam.ac.uk/jobs/research-assistant-associate-in-visual-neuroscien... Both Jasper Poort and Máté Lengyel attending COSYNE 2026 until Sunday, 15 March, so if you are around and interested in the position, we will also be happy to tell you more about our plans for the project in person. Best wishes, Máté Lengyel -- Professor of Computational Neuroscience Computational and Biological Learning Lab Cambridge University Engineering Department Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1PZ, UK tel: +44 (0)1223 748 532, fax: +44 (0)1223 765 587 email: m.lengyel@eng.cam.ac.uk web: lengyellab.org
