We are looking for one or two postdoctoral associates to join our laboratory to study homeostatic regulation of synaptic and intrinsic neuronal properties in the stomatogastric nervous system of crabs and lobsters. The positions are NIH funded and can start immediately. Interest/training in electrophysiology is preferred. In this project we use an electrophysiological and anatomical approach in a small circuit that produces rhythmic motor behavior to study variability and regulation of neuronal and network properties that, in the face of plastic changes, keep physiological parameters in a functional range.
