Short Introduction to the Bhandawat lab We study how animal behavior emerges from the complex interaction amongst the animal's nervous systems, their muscle-body dynamics, and their environment. We use fruitflies ( Drosophila melanogaster ) as our model organism because they perform many complex behaviors with a relatively simple brain, and because of the many genetic tools that are available in the flies. We employ a multi-pronged approach which includes in vivo whole-cell patch clamp recordings, imaging, quantitative measurement of behavior, biomechanics and computation. For more information on research conducted in the Bhandawat lab, please check our website at http://sites.biology.duke.edu/bhandawatlab/. How to Apply: Please include both a cover letter and a CV . The cover letter should address your specific interest in the position and outline skills and experience that directly relate to this position.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
