Neurobiology/Molecular biology - Postdoctoral Researcher
Physics World, Livermore, California, United States, 94551
Overview
Neurobiology/Molecular biology - Postdoctoral Researcher. Two-year appointment with potential extension to three years. Location: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Work on a multidisciplinary team to develop and test in vitro neural bioengineered systems for neurotoxicology applications in the Human and Health Sciences Group, Biosciences and Biotechnology Division. Requires full-time on-site presence. Responsibilities
Design and conduct in vitro experiments studying the central nervous system, blood-brain barrier, and other neuronal systems using human and rodent cell sources in bioengineered systems. Perform research in organ-on-chip systems of the human blood-brain barrier/brain. Characterize 2D and 3D cell constructs using electrophysiology, RNA sequencing, immunostaining, etc. Pursue independent but complementary research interests and collaborate with scientists internally and externally. Present progress at regular meetings; publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present at external conferences/seminars/meetings. Maintain laboratory protocols and detailed notebooks with complete records of experiments. Perform other duties as assigned. Qualifications
PhD in Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering or related field. Expertise in in vitro models of the nervous system. Proficiency with animal handling, primary cell isolation and sample processing for cell culture and analyses. Experience in electrophysiology measurements and data analysis. Proficiency with cellular/molecular characterization techniques (flow cytometry, immunostaining, sequencing, etc.). Ability to develop independent research projects as demonstrated through publications. Proficient verbal and written communication and interpersonal skills for collaboration in a multidisciplinary team. Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance (U.S. Citizenship required). Desirable qualifications
Experience integrating multiple nervous system cell types with bioengineered systems. Experience with microfabrication and microfluidics. Experience with viral infection of mammalian cells. Position Information
This is a postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extension to a maximum of three years, open to those who have been awarded a PhD by the time of hire. Benefits and Security
Salary: $118,884 annually (as stated). DOE Q-level clearance required; U.S. citizenship required; background investigation and random drug testing. Relocation assistance, education reimbursement, flexible schedules, and other benefits.
