2024 BNA Scholars announced
15th March 2024
The Interventional Systems Neuroscience Group, led by Dr Nir Grossman invents tools to non-invasively control neural activity, discover mechanisms to boost activity-dependent cellular homeostasis and cognitive functions, and translate the tools and principles to disease-modifying interventions for dementia. Our multidisciplinary team includes physicists, mathematicians, engineers, neuroscientists, and clinicians and has close collaborations with dozens of labs worldwide.
We are seeking an experienced research technician interested in building on previous animal experience to support the research laboratory and coordinate in vivo mouse experiments, including surgery, cognitive tests and brain stimulation or electrophysiological recording.
Duties and responsibilities
Under the overall direction and supervision of Dr Nir Grossman, you will gain and extend experience in non-invasive (non-pharmacological) brain stimulation interventions. You will be responsible for coordinating in vivo mouse experiments, including surgery, cognitive tests and brain stimulation/ electrophysiological recording.
You will be part of a team working within the UK DRI Centre but will be expected to work with considerable autonomy following an initial training period. In addition to research support, the duties will include laboratory administrative responsibilities.
