Postdoctoral Research Associate - Yttri Lab
**Description** The Yttri lab at Carnegie Mellon University is looking for a talented postdoctoral associate to interrogate the circuit dynamics underlying naturalistic behavior. Building off our unsupervised algorithm for segmenting behaviors from video (Hsu and Yttri, Nature Communications), we are looking to explore the interactions between multiple brain areas over long time scales (weeks) as mice navigate their arena and/or learn new tasks. Several avenues are open to research, including interrogation of timescales of representation, plasticity, and circuit dynamics in normal mice and disease models. Eric and the lab are committed to building a supportive community for inquiry and curiosity that foster members to become better scientists and people. **Qualifications** PhD or MD, background in neuroscience or statistical methods. Background in population-level analysis of neural data and/or basic machine learning principles required, but needn’t have been applied to rodent studies. **Application Instructions** Applications, including a cover letter and a curriculum vitae indicating your interest and relevant training should be submitted electronically via Interfolio. **Equal Employment Opportunity Statement** **Carnegie Mellon University** is an equal opportunity employer. It does not discriminate in admission, employment, or administration of its programs or activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition, family status, marital status, parental status, religion, ancestry, veteran status, or genetic information.
