Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Neuroscience- Banerjee Lab

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Cold Spring Harbor, NY

Position Responsibilities Our lab is interested in how the brain accomplishes the ongoing transformation from sensation to action during natural behaviors. Vocal communication is ideally suited to study natural and flexible sensorimotor transformations. During a conversation, our brain must interpret what we hear and control our vocal response. Recently, we have discovered that a neo-tropical rodent, Alston’s singing mouse, engages in fast vocal interactions, even under laboratory settings. Our lab, using this novel model system, seeks to pursue two complementary questions: How does the auditory system interact with the motor system to generate the sensorimotor loop required for vocal communication? What are the neural circuit modifications that allow behavioral novelty to emerge during evolution? Various rodent species exhibit marked differences in vocal behaviors. Genes that determine such behavioral differences, for example between the singing mouse and the lab mouse, must act via neural circuits within the brain. Yet, the structural and functional changes in the brain that specify the distinct vocal repertoires across related species remain unknown. Research in the lab combines cutting-edge systems neuroscience and comparative evolutionary analyses of neural circuitry across rodent species to bridge this knowledge gap. Position Requirements Candidates must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in neuroscience, biomedical engineering or a related field. The ideal candidate should be passionate about behavior, neural circuits and evolution. Expertise or previous experience in systems neuroscience (especially in-vivo electrophysiology or calcium imaging) is desirable but not essential. Interested candidates should e-mail their application to [email protected] . The application file should include: (1) CV with the publication list and contact information for three references.
