Undergraduate Researchers
The laboratory of Dr. Nathan Urban is looking for motivated undergraduates with interest in neuroscience, engineering, computer science or related fields to engage in directed research on projects in the lab. See the Research page for descriptions of  possible projects. If you are interested, please contact me to set up a time to discuss possible projects. If you would like advice on how to approach a faculty member about working in his or her lab, you should look at a few of the many websites that describe effective approaches, including my version. 

Postdoctoral Positions

Dr Nathan Urban of Lehigh University Department of Biological Sciences invites applications for a postdoctoral position for a NSF-funded BRAIN initiative project focused on the experimental and computational analysis of odor-driven navigation. 
This multi-year project involves investigators at more than a dozen institutions and is focused on analysis of how olfactory cues are used to guide navigation behavior in mice. Both behavioral strategies and brain mechanisms will be evaluated. The Lehigh group will combine experimental and computational approaches and will integrate detailed measurement and analysis of mouse behavior with simultaneous control of neural activity. 
We seek candidates with expertise in:
  • Automated behavioral analysis 
  • Computational models of brain networks
The successful candidate will have a PhD or equivalent degree in neuroscience, applied math, engineering, computer science or a related discipline. Successful candidates will have a track record of publications and experience in experimental and/or computational neuroscience. Postdocs will be expected to participate in ongoing collaborations with other groups at Lehigh and in other locations, especially the other members of this project team. Postdocs in the lab will have the opportunity to present their work at national and international meetings and to take advantage of many opportunities for professional development.
Applicants can contact Dr. Urban via e-mail at nnu220@lehigh.edu.
