    Default job background
    Description
    Scientist I - Optical Physiology of Neural Computation

    The mission of the Allen Institute is to unlock the complexities of bioscience and advance our knowledge to improve human health. Using an open science, multi-scale, team-oriented approach, the Allen Institute focuses on accelerating foundational research, developing standards and models, and cultivating new ideas to make a broad, transformational impact on science.

    The mission of the Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics is to answer fundamental questions about brain function. Specifically, how does our brain build our understanding of the complex world around us to guide the flexible behaviors that address our biological needs? The answers will be in terms of defined neuron types interacting across the whole brain and body, requiring us to develop next-generation neurotechnologies and employ a team-based approach for discovery neuroscience. Knowledge, data, and tools will be widely shared, in part to support the development of therapies for brain disorders.

    We seek a skilled neuroscientist / biophysicist to design and perform experiments using optical methods to study how neurons compute. Using genetically encoded fluorescent indicators of neurotransmitter inputs and firing output, we seek to study input-output operations of individual neurons in behaving mice. The ideal candidate will be team-oriented, have deep knowledge in biophysics and neuroscience, and have an interest in cutting-edge instrumentation. This position is part of the Institute's Optical Physiology Group, and will make use of state-of-the-art microscopes, genetic tools, and anatomy capabilities developed at the Institute.

    The Allen Institute believes that team science significantly benefits from the participation of diverse voices, experiences, and backgrounds. Progress in science benefits from multiple perspectives. We are committed to increasing diversity across every team and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for this role.
