TheMolas Laboratoryat theUniversity of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder)invites applications for aPostdoctoral Research Associateposition, immediately available, to investigate the neural circuits underlying innate threat processing in mice. This project explores behavioral responses to natural threats and the adaptive mechanisms that emerge with repeated exposures. From a translational perspective, we also examine how stressors impact defensive and adaptive behaviors over time. The Molas Lab uses a combination of cutting-edge techniques, including genetic tools for neuronal ensemble labeling and manipulation, whole-brain light-sheet microscopy, two-photon imaging, single-cell spatial transcriptomics, and machine learning models for behavioral annotation, to understand these complex neural processes. The ideal candidate will bring expertise in systems neuroscience, neural imaging, optogenetics, and computational analysis (Python, R, or Matlab). The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities. Specific Duties Include:
