I haven't read many recent textbooks, but I like Bouton's "Learning and Behavior: A Contemporary Synthesis".

If you're interested in something more provocative, read Gallistel's "The Organization of Learning".

Also, I’m looking for a faculty job! I’m a behavioral neuroscientist interested in the intersection between reinforcement learning and basal ganglia function in the context of both drug and non-drug rewards. Calcium imaging, optogenetics, behavior, + lots of teaching experience.
