Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The postdoc will investigate the neural mechanisms of harm-aversion in mice using functional ultrasound imaging and behavioral assays. Responsibilities include performing stereotaxic surgeries, analyzing physiological signals, and applying computational models to compare rodent and human data.
Candidates must hold or be close to obtaining a PhD in neuroscience or a related field with strong experience in ultrasound imaging and head-fixed rodent experimentation. Proficiency in programming languages like Python or MATLAB and a commitment to animal welfare are required.
Aggression causes immense societal harm, yet we still know surprisingly little about how the brain converts another individual’s pain and distress into harm-aversion. In the NWO Vici project “Empathy, helping and aggression: unravelling the missing neural link”, we investigate how empathic responses to the pain of others inhibit harmful behaviour across contexts, individuals, and species.
This postdoctoral position focuses on comparative work in rodents to understand the evolution and neural mechanisms of harm-aversion. The project asks whether mice use neural and computational mechanisms comparable to humans when avoiding harm to others, and whether disruptions in ACC–mPFC circuits contribute to pathological aggression.
The postdoc will use functional ultrasound imaging, behavioural assays, physiological recordings, computational modelling, and pathway-selective chemogenetic manipulations to study harm-aversion in mice.
The project will focus on the ACC and medial prefrontal cortex, testing whether ACC→mPFC connectivity is necessary for harm-aversion. It will also compare mouse strains with different aggression phenotypes, including BALB/cJ and BALB/cByJ mice, to link circuit function, harm-aversion, and pathological aggression.
As postdoctoral researcher, your responsibilities will include:
We are looking for a creative, rigorous, and independent scientist with a strong interest in the neural basis of social behaviour.
The ideal candidate has:
Experience in one or more of the following areas is considered an advantage:
You will join the Social Brain Lab at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, led by Valeria Gazzola and Christian Keysers. The lab investigates the neural mechanisms of empathy, social cognition, moral decision-making, and prosocial behaviour using cross-species approaches. The Social Brain Lab combines human neuroimaging, animal models, causal circuit manipulations, computational modelling, and behavioural neuroscience in a highly collaborative environment.
The Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience offers a highly international and interactive research environment in Amsterdam. The institute’s mission is to understand the neural circuits that create mental functions and how they change in brain disorders, using advanced neurotechnologies across human, primate, and rodent research.
The position provides:
Please submit your application via the Apply Now button in the KNAW/NIN vacancy portal.

Applications should be submitted no later than August 15, 2026. We aim to conduct first-round interviews over the summer and at the latest over the first half of September.
