As a postdoc in the O’Hare Lab, you will lead ambitious research projects, spanning the fields of cellular and systems neuroscience, to generate new insights into the cellular mechanisms of memory formation in vivo.

Along the way, we will prepare you to reach your next career goal - whatever that may be. Career development activities include, but are not limited to: publishing, grant writing, public speaking, mentorship, public outreach, and professional networking.

Given the intersectional nature of our approaches, a wide array of skills may prepare you to succeed in our lab. Our goal is to leverage your existing skills while exposing you to new concepts and techniques.

Relevant backgrounds may include: neurobiology, cell or molecular biology, physics, engineering, and computer science.

To apply: Reach out via email with a description of (1) relevant experience, (2) your scientific and career goals, (3) how you see our lab furthering your goals, and (4) how you see yourself contributing to our lab. In the interest of equitable recruiting practices, please refrain from including names of current and former home institutions as well as scientific advisors.

The O’Hare Lab welcomes rotating graduate students interested in any aspect of our research. As part of your rotation, you will gain exposure to diverse concepts and techniques while enjoying dedicated time to decide whether our lab is the right fit for you.

Our lab can accept students from the PharmMM, NSP, and MSTP programs. To arrange a rotation, please reach out to your graduate program administrator.

If you would like to discuss a potential rotation with Dr. O’Hare, please reach out via email.

Our lab is open to hosting CU-affiliated undergraduate students looking to make their start in neuroscience research. As an undergraduate researcher, you will have the opportunity to contribute to a PhD student’s or postdoc’s main research project. Your level of autonomy in the lab, and the sophistication of the work you will perform, will increase with experience so reach out early!

Educational backgrounds compatible with our lab include, but are not limited to: neuroscience/psychology, molecular biology, engineering, and computer programming. Remote work is possible for students with strong programming experience (primarily Python, Java is a bonus).

Our number of available slots will vary depending on our capacity to provide robust mentorship and supervision. If you are interested in working with us, please contact Dr. O’Hare via email.
