"Associate Research Scientist"

Columbia University's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute unites world-class scientists across diverse academic disciplines to conduct groundbreaking research that transforms our understanding of the brain and its influence on the mind and behavior.

As a leading neuroscience institute, our mission is to decipher the mind and brain to better understand behavior. Our researchers are committed to foundational science, uncovering the principles that shape how the brain develops, functions, and recovers.

With more than 50 labs, the Zuckerman Institute serves as a hub for collaboration, bringing together Columbia’s top scholars to drive research in bold new directions.

Located in Manhattanville, our state-of-the-art Jerome L. Greene Science Center provides an inspiring home for discovery in one of the world’s most dynamic cities.

A lab within the Institute is seeking an Associate Research Scientist who will work to understand the flow of information through neuronal circuits in the brain. The ARS will also work to reveal mechanisms that reconcile anatomic and behavioral data. The goal is to determine how these mechanisms can be used to control the flow of information through neuronal circuits.

Minimum Qualifications: MD, PhD, or a doctorate in a related field
