Research Specialist, Two Photon Imaging - La Jolla, United States - Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI)
Description
We are currently seeking a Research Specialist to join the lab of Dr. Scott Sternson at The University of California, San Diego. The Sternson lab's research investigates how the brain controls appetite.
They study multiple circuits throughout the brain as well as the interactions between neural systems that mediate hunger, thirst, and stress. Critical to this effort, the lab develops cutting-edge deep-brain calcium imaging methods that are integrated with spatial transcriptomic techniques to build a rigorous, systematic framework for the cellular and molecular components of the entire sequence of appetite behaviors (food-seeking, consumption, satiety). Their goal is to use these detailed molecular and cellular models of appetite to develop mechanism-based treatment strategies for obesity and other neurological disorders. More information can be found on their website
About the role:
In this role, you will be integral to the functioning of the lab and will assist the ongoing research focused on in vivo Two Photon imaging. In partnership with other researchers in the lab, in this role you will manage two photon microscopes and perform live animal neural dynamics data collection.
We are looking for a self-driven individual who is eager to learn and absorb the nuances of imaging within the Sternson Lab and expand on their current skillset.
