Smith, Joyce L.

Special Payroll - Instructor

The individual will be involved in research in the laboratory of Dr. Manuel Castro-Alamancos investigating the synaptic, cellular and network mechanisms involved in sensorimotor information transmission, coding and storage during motivated behaviors.

The individual will also be exploring the mechanisms by which sensory stimuli (auditory and tactile) acquire new significance and adjust motor output as a consequence of motivational contingencies, such as when a sensory stimulus comes to elicit active avoidance behavior.

Interconnected forebrain and brainstem neural circuits are studied using in vivo (freely behaving, head-fixed and anesthesized) state of the art techniques ( chronic recordings, fiber photometry, optogenetics, DREADDS, Cre mouse lines, etc).

In addition, the individual will play a significant role in writing manuscripts, presenting the work at scientific conferences, and in the preparation of grant proposals.

The position may also involve the laboratory supervision and training of undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows, as well as some possible teaching in Graduate School courses and other venues depending on departmental needs.

The individual should have a strong background in Neuroscience, as well as experience in the area of sensorimotor research with demonstrated expertise in brain stem circuit study.

A strong publication record and good communication skills are also required. Ideally, we expect that the individual should be familiar with techniques related to sensorimotor information transmission, coding and storage, and be able to conduct experiments using optogenetics and chronic recording approaches.
