Job Description
The research goal is to understand hippocampal neurogenesis and neural circuits that underlie human mental behaviors and disease, with a hope that the outcomes of our research will lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches to prevent, treat, and cure neuropsychiatric (i.e. cognitive deficits, depression, and anxiety) and neurological (i.e. epilepsy and addiction) disorders. A successful candidate will dissect neuronal connectivity and function of hippocampal neural circuits in normal and disease rodent models in molecular, cellular, genetic, and circuitry levels
