-Position Filled- Postdoctoral Position in TMDM Lab
The Timing & Decision-Making Lab at Koç University (Istanbul, Turkey) is looking for a postdoctoral fellow primarily to work in a project (funded by TÜBİTAK) that investigates the neural basis of interval timing in mice using optogenetics and electrophysiology. The research will integrate behavioral, computational, and electrophysiological approaches. The position is for up to 3 years starting immediately (negotiable). Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. degree in the areas of Psychology, Neuroscience and/or related fields. Proficiency in spoken and written English is required. Koç University is one of the leading universities in the region and English is the teaching language. In addition to the salary, the benefits include private health insurance, housing, and meal card.
To apply, please send a cover letter and CV to fbalci@ku.edu.tr. Reference letter(s) will be requested after the initial evaluation. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
