Description
DepartmentBSD ACC - Research
About the Department
The Groman Lab ) is part of the Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care at the University of Chicago.
We are interested in understanding why some individuals are more susceptible to developing addiction and other diseases compared to others.
Current projects include understanding how neural activity in specific circuits is related to behavior across key developmental periods, the molecular mechanisms that regulate genetic and environmental behavioral mechanisms of addiction risk, and investigating the computational mechanisms of select decision-making functions in normal and abnormal states.
Our work integrates complex behavioral assessments with state-of-the-art neuroscience techniques in rats to develop links between biology and behavior.Job Summary
We are seeking to hire three motivated Research Technicians who will be responsible for conducting behavioral assessments in rats at different developmental periods, performing stereotaxic and intrajugular surgeries, collecting and analyzing brain tissue samples using techniques such as immunohistochemistry and proteomics, analyzing data and presenting this data to other team members at research and lab meetings.
