Senior Research Associate, Rodent Neuroscience

Job description

About the Role The Senior Research Associate will play a central role in building and running our rodent program. You will care for the colony, prepare animals for high-resolution functional imaging, perform the surgeries that make those experiments possible, and process tissue afterward. You will work directly with the scientists whose experiments depend on your work. The ideal candidate is meticulous, independent, and approaches surgical work with the precision and care it demands. You can run a cranial window implantation and achieve consistent, quality results. You keep records that other people can actually use. About Our Animal Research: Understanding how the brain works at the level of neural circuits requires carefully designed experiments in animal models. The mouse remains the most powerful system for this work because of its genetic tools, well-characterized neurobiology, and shared circuit architecture with other mammals. We take the responsibility seriously. All of our rodent work is conducted under a veterinarian-supervised program with full IACUC oversight. We are committed to the principles of Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement, and we design studies to use the...
