Post-Doctoral Positions

Two NIH-funded post-doctoral appointments are available to study the neurophysiology underlying goal-directed behavior, reward processing and executive control in the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Wallis at the University of California, Berkeley.

Our research uses sophisticated behavioral paradigms combined with the latest recording systems, which enables the simultaneous monitoring of large numbers of individual neurons in the awake, behaving subject.

Our lab is part of the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute and Department of Psychology, and we collaborate with the extensive number of frontal lobe researchers on campus (R. Knight, M. D’Esposito, R. Ivry, A. Shimamura & S. Bunge).

The postdoctoral fellow is expected to have strong work ethic, excellent organizational and communication skills, and critical thinking abilities. Candidates must have a Ph.D., and those with a background in either psychology or neuroscience are particularly encouraged to apply. Experience with MATLAB or C++ is desirable. Salary is commensurate with experience, within the U.C. Berkeley Postdoctoral Scholar salary range.

To apply for the position, please send a cover letter and curriculum vita to wallislab.apply@gmail.com.
