**Job Description**

Details of Research Project:

Many of our most important decisions are made in the social context. These decisions frequently involve reciprocal interactions between social agents and incorporate both innate and learned behavioral circuits. The capacity to make these decisions is, however, particularly vulnerable in many neuropsychiatric, neurodevelopmental, and neurodegenerative disorders.

This research project aims to elucidate the circuits and computation underlying social decision-making and understand how they might go awry. The candidate will take an integrated neuroscience approach to understand these questions using a variety of modern methodologies including molecular genetics, imaging, in vivo electrophysiology, optogenetics, quantitative behavioral analysis, and computational modeling.
