Research Associate I - Seattle, United States - Allen Institute
Description
Research Associate I - Neurosurgery & BehaviorThe 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 focused on fundamental discoveries in systems neuroscience. We are interested in how the brain builds our understanding of the complex world to guide the flexible behaviors that address our biological needs. The answers will be in terms of defined neuron types and circuits interacting across the whole brain and body. We will develop next-generation methods and theories and employ a team-based approach to discovery neuroscience. Knowledge, data, models, and tools will be widely shared to support the development of therapies for brain disorders.
This Research Associate will be part of the Neurosurgery & Behavior team within the Research Operations department in the Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics. Primary responsibilities include performing aseptic stereotaxic surgical procedures, as well as conducting a variety of behavior training regimens on mice. Good judgment and problem-solving skills are required for recognizing process deviations, participating in troubleshooting and procedure optimization, and operation of complex laboratory instrumentation. The ideal candidate will possess excellent manual dexterity, close attention to detail and a desire to work in a deadline-driven, team-science atmosphere.
The Allen Institute believes that team science significantly benefits from the participation of diverse voices, experiences and backgrounds. High-quality science can only be produced when it includes different perspectives. We are committed to increasing diversity across every team and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for this role.
