Research Fellow: Visual Neuroscience

A post-doctoral position is available in the laboratory of Leon Lagnado to study the flow of information controlling visually-driven behaviour. The project involves a combination of experiments and modelling. Fluorescent reporters of neural activity will be used in conjunction with advanced imaging methods and behavioural assays to investigate how the signals transmitted through different visual pathways in larval zebrafish determine behavioural outputs such as the optomotor response, prey capture and escape response. We are particularly interested in how neuromodulators adjust the efficiency of information transmission in early visual processing and how this impacts these behaviours.
