Join our team!
We strive to recruit and train scientists at multiple experience levels who are curious about the function, development, and plasticity of circuits controlling movement.
We would like to hear from you! We celebrate diversity and are committed to providing a tolerant, positive training environment and equal employment opportunity for all.
Graduate Students
Students aiming to participate in Wisconsin-Madison’s vibrant neuroscience and biology research communities are highly encouraged to reach out to David as well as to apply to the
Interested graduate students who are currently enrolled in a program at Wisconsin-Madison should contact us about a lab rotation.
Postdoctoral Fellows
Candidates with an excellent record of research achievement and expertise in electrophysiology, animal behavior, calcium imaging, or computational neuroscience are especially encouraged to apply. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have a strong interest in our research, regardless of your expertise. Applicants should provide a brief introduction, curriculum vitae, representative publication, and the names and contact information for 3 references to David (dehrlich@wisc.edu).
Research Staff and Undergraduates
Researchers with limited prior experience play a prominent role in our research program. Those interested in technical work with prior exposure to light microscopy, animal behavior, electrophysiology, or zebrafish husbandry can expect to drive an independent project while also supporting the rest of the lab. Students interested in directed study can expect to learn essential lab skills while supporting an ongoing project and being challenged to propose their own research questions. Those interested in a full-time position are encouraged to contact David directly (dehrlich@wisc.edu).
