The Huston Lab is located within Columbia University's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, which brings together world-class scientists across academic disciplines conducting pioneering research to transform our understanding of how the brain works – and gives rise to mind and behavior. The Institute fosters a collaborative and inclusive environment across 50 + labs, advancing insights into human
health by exploring how the brain develops, performs, endures and recovers. Situated in the Jerome L. Greene Science Center on Columbia’s Manhattanville campus, the state-of-the-art building offers an environment where the highest level of scholarly scientific research takes place on a daily basis, with the benefit of being located in the heart of New York, one of the world’s most vibrant and culturally rich cities.
The lab uses electrophysiology, behavioral experiments, “connectome” analysis, and genetic techniques to crack the neural circuits that transform visual inputs into the motor outputs underlying the Drosophila gaze stabilization behavior. The Huston Lab at the Zuckerman Institute, Columbia University seeks a Postdoctoral Research Scientist experienced in quantitative behavior or electrophysiology for projects using
Drosophila melanogaster as a model system to understand the integration of visual and proprioceptive sensory inputs, their plasticity, and consequences for motor control.
