<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The
laboratory of Sensorimotor Integration at the Champalimaud Neuroscience
Programme has two open postdoctoral positions with ERC-based funding for 5
years upon successful performance. Our
lab studies visuomotor transformations for locomotion control. For this
purpose, we combine quantitative behavioral analysis, recordings of single-cell
and population dynamics, and modeling to understand the mechanisms by which
neural circuits incorporate visual and non-visual signals to represent a fly’s
locomotive movements. Furthermore, by selective and systematic perturbations of
genetically identified populations of neurons, we aim to make specific links
among cell identity, neural circuit computations, and the control of different
aspects of locomotion. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">We
are seeking for highly motivated individuals, with an excellent record in
critical thinking (!), and a capacity to work in a highly collaborative and
interactive environment. Previous experience in visual physiology and/or optical
imaging, or a quantitative background is a plus, but most importantly are a
fascination to understand complex biological systems, and to enjoy performing
experiments. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Successful
applicants will join a vibrant collaborative research environment, where 15
different independent research groups focus their work on the link between
neural activity and behavior. For more information, please contact Eugenia
