A postdoctoral position is immediately available with the Innate Behavior
Group at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) located near Lisbon,
Portugal. We use a combined behavioral, genetic, imaging and
electrophysiological approach to determine how defined neural circuits and
their activation elicit specific behaviors. We use Drosophila melanogaster
because flies exhibit complex behaviors that are controlled by a nervous
system that is numerically five orders of magnitude simpler than that of
vertebrates.
Please go to http://www.igc.gulbenkian.pt/ for information about the group
and the institute.
We seek creative, highly motivated candidates with the ability to work
independently and a strong background in molecular biology. Previous
expertise in electrophysiological or imaging techniques is an advantage.
Interested candidates should send CV, cover letter, and contact information
of 2-3 references to [email protected].
