We study how neural circuits work, what they do, and how they are linked together to produce computations and behaviors. Research in the laboratory is focused on the neural basis of prey capture, in both salamanders and dragonflies. Our work takes a systems level approach, combining quantitative behavioral measurements, neural recordings, and theory. We are looking for candidates with an outstanding track record in at least one or more of these areas. More information on research in the lab, and ongoing projects, may be found here: ( http://www.hhmi.org/research/groupleaders/leonardo.html.).
