About the Postdoctoral Scientist role:

We are seeking a motivated and creative Postdoctoral Scientist to join our dynamic, cross-disciplinary team exploring how animals detect, perceive and respond to the visual world.

We aim to experimentally test such fundamental relationships between the brain, body, and behavior, using cross-species comparisons in tree shrews and rats.
