Summary of Duties:
The Postdoctoral Fellow will utilize diverse methods and procedures to work with rats in two independent projects in the McLaughlin Lab. The first project investigates how endocannabinoid signaling in the lateral habenula impacts behavioral flexibility under conditions of chronic stress. The second project explores behavioral and biological predictors of cannabis-seeking behavior, as well as developmental effects of cannabis exposure using a novel translational model of cannabis vapor self-administration in rodents. Candidates with experience in in vivo and ex vivo electrophysiology, in vivo calcium imaging (fiber photometry), MatLab coding, and rodent behavior will be given priority.
