    GENERAL SUMMARY / OVERVIEW:

    Seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Associate to join an-NIH funded laboratory that conducts basic neuroscience research in consciousness and general anesthesia. Our group uses touchscreen-based cognitive testing in rodents to assess how consciousness and cognition recover after general anesthesia.

    • Working with adeno-associated viruses (Biosafety level 1)
    • Performing behavioral experiments to test for recovery of consciousness and cognition
    • Performing neurophysiological recordings (EEG/ECG/EMG) in awake and anesthetized rodents
    • Performing neural circuit manipulations in awake and anesthetized rodents
    • Collecting and preparing tissue for immunohistochemical staining
    • Conducting fluorescent microscopy and histological analysis
    • Data recording and analysis using software programs including GraphPad Prism and Matlab
    • Maintaining organized and detailed records of laboratory experiments in electronic laboratory notebooks
