Postdoctoral researcher
Max Planck Institute for Brain Research

Dori Grijseels is a postdoctoral researcher in Alison Barker’s lab at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, studying the neural basis of vocal communication in naked mole-rats.

Grijseels earned a B.Sc. in biology at Radboud University and an M.Sc. in cognitive science at Umeå University. Afterward, they joined the four-year neuroscience Ph.D. program at the University of Sussex, where they completed their Ph.D. in Catherine Hall’s lab. They spent two years studying vocal communication in marmosets in Cory Miller’s lab at the University of California, San Diego.
