Offer Description

Established in 2011, IINS brings together 180 scientists from various backgrounds (chemistry, structural biology, molecular and cell biology, biophysics, clinical medicine, advanced imaging, neurobiology) to understand brain function in health and disease. IINS conducts multidisciplinary research at the forefront of synapse biology and neural systems physiology, focusing on developing new technologies and tools.

The position involves conducting animal behavior experiments to understand the role of cortical motor projections to the spinal cord in motor planning. Activities include:

1. Stereotaxic surgery for implantation (cranial window, silicone probe, neuropixel) and viral infection.
2. Handling, habituation, and daily monitoring of experimental animals, complying with ethical regulations.
3. Setting up lesion, optogenetic, calcium imaging, and electrophysiology experiments on awake animals.
4. Monitoring animal welfare and humanely euthanizing animals if necessary.
5. Data collection, backup, and documentation (lab notebooks, external hard drives, servers).
6. Data analysis, mathematical modeling, and figure formatting.
7. Monitoring and maintaining laboratory equipment.
8. Training and supervising students as needed.
