| University of Maryland, Baltimore | Neuroscience, play behavior, learning, Ephys | Pharmacology & Physiology | Steffen Wolff | 04/30/2026 | The Wolff Lab at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore has a fully funded position for a Postdoctoral Fellow. This postdoc will be involved in two projects and the balance between the two can be adapted. Both projects are based on in-depth behavioral quantification, in vivo electrophysiological recordings and large-scale data analysis. The first project is a Simons Foundation (SFARI)-funded collaboration with Dr. McCarthy in the same department, aiming to characterize juvenile play behavior in-depth at the behavioral and neuronal activity level and to determine how it is affected in autism spectrum disorder model rats. This project focuses on machine learning-aided behavioral phenotyping and electrophysiological recordings during juvenile social play. The second NIH-funded project seeks to understand how motor and declarative learning can influence each other, which factors modulate these interactions and the learning processes themselves, and how individual neuronal elements in the overlapping learning networks, including the basal ganglia, cortex and hippocampus, are involved. This project takes advantage of automated high-throughput behavioral training and continuous long-term electrophysiological recordings, combined with acute and chronic manipulations of neuronal activity and computational modeling of our large datasets. Qualifications: Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, biology, physics, computer science or a related field. The ideal candidate should have experience in in vivo electrophysiology, and preferably in rodent behavior and/or analysis of large datasets. |
