Postdoctoral Fellow: Learning & Memory at Stanford

Employer: Raymond Laboratory of Neurobiology at Stanford University

Location: Stanford, California

Salary: starting at $73,000/yr plus benefits, commensurate with experience

Closing date: Nov 21, 2024

The Raymond lab is seeking creative scientists to contribute to our efforts to uncover the neural mechanisms of learning and memory.

The lab uses combinations of molecular, cellular, systems, behavioral, and computational approaches to build a more integrative understanding of the principles governing learning.

Recently, we have become increasingly interested in metaplasticity. We discovered a new form of synaptic metaplasticity, temporal metaplasticity, and are investigating its role in improving the way a circuit learns, i.e., in metalearning.

We are seeking motivated postdocs to join us in these exciting scientific efforts.

Candidates should have a PhD in neuroscience or related discipline. Experience with in vitro or in vivo electrophysiology is desirable, but not necessary. Lab members are encouraged to learn new techniques as needed to advance their projects.

The PI is committed to providing the strong mentorship and support needed for postdocs to achieve their scientific and professional goals; the lab provides a highly collegial scientific environment; and the broader Stanford community provides unsurpassed opportunities for collaboration and professional development.

Interested individuals should send a brief cover letter describing experience and goals, a CV, and the names and contact information for three references to Professor Jennifer Raymond: ...@stanford.edu.
