Job Description
The Restorative Network Engineering & Therapeutics Laboratory in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine studies the circuit mechanisms of cognitive preparation and intrinsic attentional, proactive control for neurocognitive learning/developmental disorders including ADHD and intellectual disability.
We are seeking a highly motivated Life Science Research Professional who has experience in in-vivo rodent research. The successful candidate will work with a multidisciplinary research team on the discovery of basic neural and myelin plasticity mechanisms of cognitive control. Research will mainly involve stereotactic small animal surgery, in-vivo calcium imaging, neurophysiology recordings, targeted myelin modification, optogenetics, neurobehavioral assays, and analysis of neuroimaging and behavioral data.
Main Duties
- Contribute to idea conceptualization and experimental framework design for the project (10%).
- Conduct collaborative experiments (e.g., small animal surgery, optical imaging/recording, neurobehavior tests) for data collection and maintain detailed records of experiments (related to animal surgeries, animal measurements, and behavior tests) (40%).
- Analyze, visualize and interpret research data using MATLAB, Python, etc. Contribute to the development of computation workflows or application of existing pipelines for analysis of neuroimaging data (30%).
- Publication of experiment results, which include the preparation of manuscripts, protocols, conference presentations, and research proposals at the scientific and clinical society of neurosurgery, neurology, and neuroimaging (20%).
