Research Associate - Circuit Based Model Systems of Anhedonia (CMA)

We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to extract content. Let's parse the posting: - About BioMed X: description of organization. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About BioMed X" is about the organization, not role. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections like "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We need to include only those sections that have real specific content. We need to decide what content maps to each. The posting includes: - About BioMed X (organization description) - About Team CMA (team description) - The Position (description of role) - The Ideal Candidate Will Have (list of qualifications) - Required skills (list) - Additional skills, good to have (list) - What we offer (benefits) - Application instructions (to be removed) - EEO boilerplate (to be removed) - Contact info (maybe keep as minor metadata? but we should drop or fold into short p) We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (the page already shows it). No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus we will produce something like:

About the role

... description of role ...

Responsibilities

• ... duties ...
...

Requirements

• ... required qualifications ...
...

Qualifications

Maybe combine with Requirements? But we need separate if content distinct. The posting has "The Ideal Candidate Will Have Bachelors or Masters in Neuroscience/Psychology. 1-2 years of Wetlab/computational neuroscience lab experience. Strong written and oral scientific communication skills. References from research mentors speaking to their competency as a scientific researcher." That's qualifications. Then "Required skills" list: Mammalian Cell Culture, Animal Husbandry, Cell and Molecular Experimental Skills, Experience working in a research team and ability to meet deadlines, Coursework in neuroscience and knowledge of neuropsychiatric illness. Then "Additional skills, good to have": Computational experience, Microscopy, Human neuroimaging analysis. Thus we could map: - About the role: description of position (The Position paragraph) - Responsibilities: maybe from "The research associate will contribute to the generation of data and the overall design of the project." and "receive direct mentorship..." etc. Could treat as responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe the "Ideal Candidate Will Have" (education, experience, communication, references) - Qualifications: maybe the "Required skills" list? Or we could swap. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: Section "Requirements": education and experience (Bachelors/Masters, 1-2 years, communication, references). Section "Qualifications": technical skills required (Mammalian Cell Culture, Animal Husbandry, Cell and Molecular Experimental Skills, teamwork/deadlines, coursework). Section "Skills": additional good-to-have skills (Computational experience, Microscopy, Human neuroimaging analysis). Benefits: "What we offer" paragraph. Pay and Schedule: not specified; we should not include those sections. We also have About BioMed X and About Team CMA. Could be part of "About the role"? But the instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not include "About BioMed X" or "About Team CMA" as separate headings; we can incorporate that info into "About the role" maybe. But we must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the organization and team description somewhere. Could be placed in a

before the sections, not as a heading. That's allowed: we can have prose

before headings. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Thus we can have an introductory

  that includes About BioMed X and About Team CMA combined. Then sections. Let's extract substantive content: About BioMed X: "BioMed X is a leading innovation hub for pharma. With our global network of research institutes at top universities and incubators within pharmaceutical companies, we bridge the gap between academia and industry. We are pioneers in applying the principles of design thinking and crowdsourcing to drug discovery and development. With our unique model, we identify key challenges across all therapeutic areas, recruit top academic talent, and co-create tailored solutions with our pharma partners. In our stimulating ecosystem, early-career researchers grow into future scientific leaders. They perform exploratory research, deliver industry-grade results, and pave the way to next-generation therapies. At BioMed X, we value curiosity, diversity, and purpose. Our goal is to serve as a vital catalyst for innovation in global health for the benefit of all patients." About Team CMA: "BioMed X is searching for two research associates to join a team of one group leader, Dr. Kevin Keary, and two post-docs to investigate the mechanisms and circuitry underlying anhedonia. The focus of team CMA is anhedonia, the diminished ability to experience pleasure. It is a debilitating symptom in depression and core negative symptom in schizophrenia. The neurobiological underpinnings remain poorly understood despite this clear clinical need. While reduced dopamine activity in the ventral striatum has long been implicated, wider reward circuitry involving the prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, ventral tegmental area, and amygdala points to a broader network dysfunction. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests that neurotransmitter systems beyond dopamine – including opioids, serotonin, GABA, and glutamate – modulate the reward system in ways not yet fully mapped. The field lacks a clear mechanistic understanding of which neuronal subtypes across which brain regions are critical to manifesting anhedonia. The aim of this project is to examine cell and brain region specific alterations in rodent and in vitro models of anhedonia to identify biomarkers and potential future therapeutic targets for anhedonia patients." The Position: "We are seeking two highly motivated research associates with a strong background in neuroscience research to join team CMA located in New Haven, Connecticut. The research associate will contribute to the generation of data and the overall design of the project. The research associate will receive direct mentorship from the group leader and postdocs to refine their technical proficiency, scientific thinking, and ability to present their research. This is a valuable opportunity to both break into industry science and gain more research experience before pursuing PhD programs." Ideal Candidate Will Have: "Bachelors or Masters in Neuroscience/Psychology. 1-2 years of Wetlab/computational neuroscience lab experience. Strong written and oral scientific communication skills. References from research mentors speaking to their competency as a scientific researcher." Required skills: list: - Mammalian Cell Culture (Including but not limited to sterile technique for neuronal culture and cellular differentiation). - Animal Husbandry (Weaning, IP Injections, Handling Mice). - Cell and Molecular Experimental Skills (In-situ hybridization, western blotting, immunohistochemistry). - Experience working in a research team and ability to meet deadlines set forth by the group leader. - Coursework in neuroscience and knowledge of neuropsychiatric illness. Additional skills, good to have: - Computational experience (MatLab, Python, R, etc.). - Microscopy (Nikon, Zeiss, Olympus). - Human neuroimaging analysis (fMRI, PET, MR Spectroscopy). What we offer: - The position is fully funded by AbbVie and is immediately available. - International, diverse, and positive work atmosphere with a flexible working environment. - NIH-Aligned salary with employee benefits plan following the Post-Baccalaureate IRTA stipend table. - Access to a vast scientific network. We need to output Benefits section with those bullet points. We must not include Pay or Schedule sections because not specified. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, contact info, application instructions, etc. The posting includes: "Please submit your application with the following documents to the attention of Dr. Kevin Keary by September 30, 2026 via our online application system - https://career.bmedx.com/call/2026-NHV-J02 1-page cover letter.Curriculum Vitae outlining scientific interests, research achievements, and a record of publications.2 references will be asked for after submission as a part of the interview process.Valid US work authorization is required for this position. At BioMed X we embrace diversity as we consider it the source of innovation. We are committed to equal opportunity in the terms and conditions of employment for all employees and job applicants without regard to race, color, religion, ideology, sex, sexual orientation, age, gender identity or gender expression, national origin, or disability. For questions: career@bmedx.com To read about us, please visit: https://bmedx.com" We need to remove application instructions and EEO boilerplate. However, "Valid US work authorization is required for this position." is substantive? It's a requirement. Could be considered a requirement. Should we keep? It's a requirement for the position. It's not boilerplate EEO; it's a specific requirement. So we should keep that as part of Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scarn-warning boilerplate. The line about equal opportunity is boilerplate; we drop. The line about valid US work authorization is a requirement, keep. Also "For questions: career@bmedx.com" and "To read about us, please visit: https://bmedx.com" are contact/info; could be considered minor metadata, we can fold into short p or drop. Probably drop. Thus we need to incorporate "Valid US work authorization is required for this position." into Requirements or Qualifications. Now let's craft HTML. We'll start with an introductory

  that includes About BioMed X and About Team CMA combined. Ensure we preserve all info, not summarizing away detail. We'll keep the sentences as is, maybe combine into one or two paragraphs. We need to avoid duplication: The About BioMed X and About Team CMA are separate paragraphs; we can keep them as separate

  elements. Then

  About the role

  with the Position paragraph. Then

  Responsibilities

  maybe we can extract responsibilities from The Position: "contribute to the generation of data and the overall design of the project" and "receive direct mentorship from the group leader and postdocs to refine their technical proficiency, scientific thinking, and ability to present their research." Also "break into industry science and gain more research experience before pursuing PhD programs" is more of opportunity, not responsibility. We'll include those as responsibilities. Thus
