  • Under the direction of Dr. Mark Rossi (PI and founding member of CNM), the Postdoc will be responsible for the design, analysis, interpretation, and presentation in oral and written form of experiments focused on studying the involvement of the hypothalamus and related brain circuitry in feeding, reward, motivated behavior, and diet-induced obesity. The project is part of a larger effort in the lab to understand the role of subcortical circuitry in normal and pathological feeding and reward processes. Applicant must hold a PhD or equivalent degree in neuroscience, biochemistry, molecular biology, psychology, computer science, biomedical engineering, biology, or other biomedical discipline. Previous research using 2-photon imaging, slice electrophysiology, optogenetics, rodent behavioral analysis, calcium imaging, or coding is preferred, but we are also interested in candidates with expertise in biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics who want to pursue additional training.  The Postdoc will participate in lab meetings, research in progress seminars, and presentations at conferences. They will prepare manuscripts based on their research, aid in developing the PI’s grant applications, and will be expected to apply for personal grant funding. Multiple resources for career development to aid with these requirements will be provided by the PI and the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.
