The Zeiger lab at UCLA is interested in the basic and translational mechanisms of circuit dysfunction in neurologic disorders. We use in vivo multi-photon and macroscopic imaging techniques, along with custom-built behavior assays, to study the function of cortical circuits and individual neurons in mouse models of stroke and Parkinson disease. We are searching for a highly motivated, creative, and interested individual to join a world-class community of neuroscientists at UCLA.

· Prepare figures and draft manuscripts
· Present research at local, regional, and national meetings
· Apply for fellowship awards
Required Qualifications
· MD or PhD in Neuroscience, biology, or similar discipline
· Established track record demonstrating ability to complete projects
· Experience working with rodents
· Competency with fluorescence microscopy
· Excellent scientific communication skills
· Willingness to learn and ability to function independently
Preferred Qualifications
· Advanced experience with microscopy, particularly in vivo imaging, multi-photon imaging, or calcium imaging
· Competency with MATLAB, Python, or other programming languages
· Some computational neuroscience experience
