Applications are invited for a post-doctoral researcher to complete a BBSRC funded collaboration to investigate how neural and neurochemical activity in the striatum encode the costs and benefits of acting.

The post is full time and is available until December 31st 2023 with a start date as soon as possible.

Primarily based in the laboratory of Prof Mark Walton, part of the Behavioural Neuroscience Unit based at the Department of Experimental Psychology, the post-holder will take forward and develop a programme of work to investigate how the neural circuits in the basal ganglia represent, use and learn the information about the costs and benefits of alternative choices during decision making.

_in vivo_ monitoring of neurochemistry in mice performing decision making tasks, and analysis of such data sets is essential. You will be proficient in programming for analysis of large data sets and have an excellent academic track record commensurate with career stage.
