We seek a postdoctoral fellow who will work in a new lab at the Friedman Brain Institute of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York City. Our lab (PI: Hirofumi Morishita, MD, PhD) uses mouse visual cortex as a model to study experience-dependent brain development. We take an integrated approach, combining molecular, circuit, and systems level methodologies. We are particularly interested in the development of top-down projection from other brain areas to visual cortex and its contribution on visual cortex plasticity.

Mount Sinai School of Medicine, located at Manhattan, New York City, offers an outstanding environment for a successful postdoctoral career. The school recently established a new institute system that fosters collaborations and expanding environment for neuroscientists across departments.

Qualifications: PhD in neuroscience or related field required. Past experience in vivo extracellular recording in visual cortex strongly preferred. Programming (MATLAB) experience is desirable. Experience with virus, optogenetics, psychophysics is a plus.

Application and required documents: 1) Cover letter, 2) Description of past research, skills, & interests, 3) CV, 4) 3 letters of recommendation (including one from the current supervisor, If available), or names and contact information (email & tel) of 3 references with a brief description of your relationship to each reference. Please send the above information as a single pdf file to hirofumi.morishita@mssm.edu
