Job Description:
The Gu Lab within the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Dallas is actively searching for a dedicated full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate.
The Gu Lab focuses on exploring how basal ganglia outputs interact with other brain regions to select, initiate, and execute motivated behavior in both health and disease. To accomplish this, we employ a range of advanced techniques, including single-cell/nucleus RNA sequencing, sophisticated viral tracing, machine learning-assisted mapping and reconstruction of brain-wide circuitry, behavioral clustering, cell-type and action-specific Cal-light tagging, closed-loop optogenetic manipulation, calcium imaging, and neuropixels recordings.
Our aim is to elucidate the mechanisms at the circuit level that underpin basal ganglia function and its dysfunctions, with the ultimate goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets for a spectrum of diseases related to the basal ganglia, such as addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Parkinson's Disease.

Our lab offers a dynamic, supportive, and collaborative environment, fostering professional growth and the opportunity to make significant contributions to neuroscience. We are deeply committed to understanding the complexities of the brain and encourage like-minded individuals to join our quest.
