Research Scientist I (Emotional Brain Institute) (210-2026-02)
About The Position
A 50% research scientist position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Shuo Chen. The Chen Lab studies the circuit and molecular mechanisms of learning and memory in healthy and disease brains. The lab also develops novel technologies to record and manipulate neuronal activities. The successful candidate will lead projects integrating in vivo electrophysiology, in vitro electrophysiology, calcium imaging, animal behavior, omics, and computational modeling to dissect how circuit- and molecular-level processes give rise to complex behaviors and memory functions. Additional opportunities exist to develop next-generation technologies for minimally invasive deep brain simulation.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree and two years of professional research experience in an appropriate field or master's degree in an appropriate field may substitute for one year experience.
Nice To Haves
