Grienberger lab

Why join the lab?

We are strongly committed to creating a supportive environment where all people can learn AND have fun. We believe that the best way to achieve this is to foster an open and collaborative atmosphere that promotes original and critical thinking, open communication, and mutual respect.

Answering the fundamental questions in neuroscience requires bridging multiple scientific disciplines; therefore, we welcome individuals with different backgrounds and skills, including those from neuroscience, psychology, physics, mathematics, engineering, and computer science. This is our strength. It enables everyone in the lab to learn from each other, fostering a team that generates innovative ideas and achieves creative accomplishments.

Brandeis University is the perfect place to launch or advance your career in neuroscience. It is located a few miles outside of Boston and has a uniquely collaborative research community. There are also a number of shared core facilities, seminars, and interdisciplinary training and research programs.

Undergraduate and Master's Students

Undergraduate and Master's Students

We will have an opening for an undergraduate or Master's student starting in fall 2025. If you are interested in this opportunity to gain first-hand lab experience, please feel free to email Christine. Techniques range from behavioral training to histology and data analysis.

Research Technician

We have an opening for a full-time Research Technician to join our lab. This is an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about scientific discovery and eager to contribute within a highly collaborative, supportive team. The position offers extensive, mentored hands-on laboratory experience - ideal preparation for graduate or medical school. As part of the team, you will gain training in cutting-edge techniques, actively participate in ongoing projects, and contribute to advancing our research goals. If you are motivated, curious, and excited about building your skills in a dynamic research environment, email Christine.

Ph.D. Students

We are recruiting Ph.D. students through the Brandeis Neuroscience and Molecular and Cell Biology Graduate programs. If you are either a prospective applicant or a current student interested in rotating in the lab, please get in touch via email. Rotations will feature hands-on training in behavioral training and analyses, two-photon Ca2+ imaging and/or intracellular recordings in awake behaving mice.

Postdoctoral Researchers

Possible projects include:

using whole-cell recordings and two-photon Ca2+ imaging to uncover the molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity and its impact on learning and memory formation.
using computational modeling to study hippocampal information processing
and more: I am happy to discuss questions you are interested in pursuing

We are always eager to hear from outstanding candidates interested in pursuing a postdoc in our lab. We welcome applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, including neuroscience, engineering, computer science, physics, biology, psychology, and related fields.

Our lab offers an exciting, collaborative environment to explore fundamental questions at the intersection of systems neuroscience and technology. We are especially enthusiastic about candidates who either have experience in - or a strong interest in developing expertise in - electrophysiology, advanced microscopy, calcium imaging, or computational modeling of physiological data.

If you are passionate about discovery and innovation, we'd love to hear from you!

To be considered, please submit a CV, a brief statement describing your previous work and stating which project you would be interested in working on and why, as well as contact information for 1 - 3 professional references as a single PDF file via email.
