Position: Research Associate Location: Department of Neurobiology and Behavior Summary The Warden Lab in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University seeks candidates for a fully funded research associate position to study the role of hypothalamic and basal ganglia inputs to the lateral habenula in regulating goal-directed behavior. The broad goal of our research program is to understand the neural basis or positively- and negatively motivated behavioral decision-making, and recent work has focused on dopamine, serotonin, and habenular circuits. We utilize an array of techniques to study these circuits including optogenetics, imaging, high-density freely moving neurophysiology, rodent behavior, and computation. Duties and Responsibilities
