The Bolding Lab is seeking a Research Technician and Lab Manager to contribute to systems neuroscience research into memory mechanisms and olfactory information processing. We use large-scale in vivo electrophysiology, calcium imaging, optogenetics, quantitative behavioral analysis, and novel molecular tools to understand the neural basis of olfactory recognition, social recognition, and memory.
The core responsibilities include developing and conducting complex mouse behavioral experiments using custom scripts (i.e., Python and Bonsai), stereotaxic mouse surgery for viral injections and intracranial implantation of optic fibers, lenses, and electrodes, and statistical analysis of neural and behavioral data. Training will be provided and specific tasks will be tailored to the lab’s current needs and your abilities. Please visit boldinglab.org for more lab-specific information.
