Job Description

The Fuccillo Lab at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking postdoctoral fellows to join our team and contribute to projects investigating how rodent cortico-basal ganglia circuits control valence-, outcome- and sensory-guided actions, and how these processes are disrupted in genetic neurodevelopmental disorder models (including autism, OCD, ADHD, and intellectual disability).

Postdocs will work in a collaborative environment using a range of approaches, including:


+ In vivo recording and imaging techniques during behavior

+ Quantitative behavioral modeling

+ Ex vivo biophysical measures of neural circuit function

+ Molecular, genetic and viral tools
