Research Specialist BS-Anatomy & Neurobiology

About the role

The position is in the Roussarie lab, in the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology, which investigates the molecular basis of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. The lab studies the selective vulnerability of a particular set of neurons as a way to identify genes involved in neurodegeneration.

Responsibilities

• Facilitate research on selective neuronal vulnerability by generating human and mouse in vitro models
• Maintain mouse models of Alzheimer's disease
• Perform stereotaxic surgery on the mouse brain
• Use an array of histological and biochemical techniques to assay neurodegeneration
• Ensure continuity and consistency in the lab protocols, reagents and biological materials used by lab students and postdocs

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree
• 1-3 years of experience

Qualifications

The Roussarie lab seeks a highly motivated individual with a strong background in neuroscience and laboratory skills. Experience with mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, in vitro models, and stereotaxic surgery is preferred.
