Neuroscientist - in vivo electrophysiology
About The Position
Cahira Technologies Inc is an MIT spinoff company founded by Prof. Deblina Sarkar. We are building novel sub-cellular sized wireless electronic devices that seamlessly integrate with the brain, enabling brain-computer symbiosis beyond conventional brain-computer interfaces. We are seeking a neuroscientist with strong in vivo experience, particularly in electrophysiological techniques. Hands-on expertise in performing in vivo electrical recordings (LFP, Action Potential) using implanted intracranial electrodes in live animals (mice and/or rats) is essential. Applicants must have demonstrated experience in this area to be considered. Our primary research involves rodent models (mice and rats), with plans to expand into large animal studies in the near future.
Requirements
- PhD in neuroscience, biology, bioengineering or relevant field
- Demonstrated experience in performing in vivo electrical recordings (LFP, Action Potential) using implanted intracranial electrodes in live animals (mice and/or rats).
- Experience with mouse/rats surgery, stereotactic injections and implanting electrodes
- Experience in electrical recording (LFP, action potential) from mice/rats’ brain/spinal cord with electrodes
- Experience with testing animal behavior
- Experience with data analysis
- Solid foundation in neuroscience with a strong understanding of neural circuits.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with patch clamp (in cultured cells or brain slices)
- Experience with fiber photometry
- Experience with two-photon calcium imaging
- Experience with optogenetics
- Familiarity with neuromodulation or studies of neural plasticity using electrical stimulation
- Experience with electrical stimulation
- Experience in fMRI, DTI, PET, MEG
- Experience in Patch clamping in cultured cells or live slices
- Fiber photometry or 2-photon calcium imaging or optogenetics skills
- Experience in studying neural plasticity with electrical stimulation
- Experience with stem cells, 3D cultures and organoids
Responsibilities
- Performing in vivo electrical recordings (LFP, Action Potential) using implanted intracranial electrodes in live animals (mice and/or rats).
- Conducting research involving rodent models (mice and rats).
- Expanding research into large animal studies in the near future.
