    Overview

    Robotics Engineer for Automation of Ultrathin Brain Sectioning

    The FlyWire Consortium, led by the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, recently released the first neuronal wiring diagram of an adult brain. The fruit fly connectome was obtained by processing electron microscopic brain images to reconstruct tens of millions of synapses between 100,000 neurons. With this historic milestone attained, neuroscience has clearly entered the connectomic era.

    The image processing benefited from modern high performance computing and artificial intelligence. But the images were acquired from slices of the fly brain that were collected manually, in a manner that has remained essentially unchanged for over 50 years. We are building an engineering team to modernize the collection of ultrathin brain slices with a pick-and-place robot guided by computer vision. The task is to pick up slices floating on water and place them on substrates suitable for electron microscopic imaging. This is the kind of technological innovation necessary to scale up connectomics from flies to large mammalian brains more like our own.

    We are seeking a robotics engineer to design and build the robot, interface it with a control system, and collaborate with a robot vision engineer to control the pick and place operations.

    This full-time position has an initial appointment of one year and possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance. For more information, see these publications.
