A postdoctoral position in the Warden lab is open! Our work is on neuromodulatory circuits and their inputs and outputs, and how these circuits support behavioral decision making. If interested, please reach out!
The Warden Lab in the Department of Translational Neurosciences at the University of Arizona seeks candidates for a postdoctoral position. Many of our research projects are focused on neuromodulatory circuits and their inputs and outputs. We are interested in understanding how these circuits support motivated behavioral decision making, and we use a multidisciplinary approach combining imaging, optogenetics, anatomy, high-density freely moving neurophysiology, behavior, and computation. Ideal candidates will have a PhD in Neuroscience, Psychology, or related fields, and an interest in the neural mechanisms underlying motivated behavioral decision-making. A quantitative background, experience in imaging or electrophysiology, and proficiency in MATLAB/Python are desirable but not required. If interested, please send a cover letter, CV, and the names of three references to mrwarden@arizona.edu.
