Postdoctoral Research Scholar position available in the Laboratory of Alcohol and Addictions Neuroscience in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences within the Morsani College of Medicine at the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL.
The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary internationally-recognized research program to participate in NIH-funded, translational alcohol abuse disorder neuroscience research. The postdoctoral candidate will receive the theoretical and technical training to engage in preclinical experimentation that integrates behavioral animal models (encompassing motivational, negative affective and cognitive control domains) with state-of-the-art neuroscientific techniques, from gene to behavior, to elucidate neuroadaptations in limbic and cortical systems that promote maladaptive behavioral regulation in alcohol use disorder and neuropsychiatric disorders. Candidate must be capable of successfully working with others, supervising trainees, independently conducting experiments, analyzing data, writing manuscripts and disseminating research findings.
