Post Doctoral Associate - Dr. Omar El Gharbawie's Laboratory Med-Neurobiology - Pennsylvania-Pittsburgh - ( 26006732 ) Postdoctoral Position in Systems Neuroscience: Sensorimotor Circuits in Non-Human Primates (University of Pittsburgh) A fully funded postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Omar Gharbawie at the University of Pittsburgh. We study the structural and functional organization of brain circuits underlying sensorimotor control and cognition. Our lab also seeks to understand the neural basis of resting state networks. Our investigations use awake/behaving monkeys that are trained to perform manual tasks or studied during rest. Our approach combines complementary methods across scales: Recording: high-density electrophysiology, intrinsic signal optical imaging, and fMRI Causal manipulation: microstimulation, optogenetics, and pharmacological inactivation Anatomy: tract tracing,...
