We are seeking a motivated post-doc candidate (minimum 6 months with the possibility of extension - contract) with a strong background in Neuroscience to study the role of neurobiological mechanisms that underlie opioid craving and withdrawal as well as to identify potential new pharmacological treatments of the OUD symptoms. Critical steps in advancing the addiction research field are to reveal if opioid craving and withdrawal activate specific neuronal populations in the brain. We anticipate that by identifying and manipulating genetically- and activity- marked neuronal subpopulations, we will accomplish progress towards circuit specific control of OUD symptoms

Our scientific aim is to map neural activity underlying opioid withdrawal and craving using cutting-edge anatomical, optogenetic and neurophysiological methods. We will use an innovative combination of in vivo optogenetics targeting activated cells, fluorescent tracers, advanced immunohistological and molecular imaging techniques, fiber photometry, single-cell recordings in wild type and transgenic rats

Skills/Qualifications

She/he should be highly motivated and show independent skills and strong interest in neurophysiology and system neuroscience. Prior research experience with rodent behavioral experiments, in vivo fiber photometry and/or electrophysiology will be advantageous.

We require excellent work organization skills, a creative approach to research problems, team collaboration skills and motivation.

Specific Requirements

Experience in laboratory work is necessary.
