Job Description
The Huda lab is seeking talented and highly motivated scientists interested in using cuttingedge invivo techniques to investigate neural circuits for adaptive decisionmaking. We are a vibrant new lab in the WM Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience and the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience at Rutgers University. We take a systems neuroscience approach to study the structure function and plasticity of neural circuits underlying decisionmaking in mice and how dysregulation of these circuits gives rise to neuropsychiatric diseases. We address this question with an emphasis on dissecting interactions between cortical striatal and midbrain circuits. Specifically we interrogate how inputs from longrange projections between these structures are integrated into local microcircuit dynamics and transformed into taskspecific outputs. Our work combines a portfolio of diverse techniques including quantitative mouse behavior cellular and subcellular resolution twophoton microscopy optogenetics viralbased anatomical tracing and electrophysiology. We are looking for passionate scientists who are motivated by important questions and have the necessary dedication work ethic and attitude to address them in a systematic and scientifically rigorous way. This position offers a unique opportunity to join a new lab where you will enjoy unparalleled support from a PI distinctly committed to your technical and conceptual training mentorship and career development. It is an excellent opportunity for neuroscientists looking to advance their training in nextgeneration invivo approaches for assessing neural circuit function as it relates to behavior and disease
