Job description

University of California Irvine

Postdoctoral Scholar - In Vivo Electrophysiology and Memory


A Postdoctoral Scholar position is available in the Hunt laboratory at University of California Irvine to study neural circuit mechanisms of memory in the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus. These projects use high-density in vivo electrophysiological recordings and/or imaging in behaving mice, optogenetics and memory tasks. We are currently supported by grants from NIH, NSF and private sources to support these projects.
