The postdoctoral scholar will conduct research in the domain of sleep, primarily in early life but also potentially at older ages, using rodents and humans. The specific research topics will depend on the successful applicant's interests and expertise, as well as the current needs of the lab. Work will be performed using a combination of methods, including behavioral assessment, neurophysiology, neural manipulations, and functional ultrasound imaging.
