CMU and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, us, 55905
Overview
A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, is seeking full-time postdocs and research technicians to lead experiments and bioinstrumentation at the intersection of experimental and computational neuroscience for a project that focuses on testing and translating novel methods for neural sensing and stimulation in the gut-brain axis.
Key Objectives
Work with clinicians, scientists, and engineers to advance neurostimulation and sensing techniques
Translation driven project with rodent and swine models, with a multidisciplinary team
Ideal Candidates
Neuroscientists or biomedical engineers (with BS, MS, or PhD degrees).
Individuals with prior experience in rodent or swine studies
For engineering (CMU), experience in biomedical electronics, embedded systems and/or circuit design.
For rodent studies (Mayo), experience with transgenic mouse models, in vivo/ex vivo optogenetic manipulation and calcium imaging, neural tracing, electrophysiology and/or behavioral testing is preferred. Candidates must have wet-lab research experience working with animal models.
For swine studies (CMU), experience working with swine models
Motivated individuals seeking professional development in academic, industrial, or entrepreneurial careers.
Position Details
Initial duration: 12 months, with the possibility of renewal.
Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.
Start date: As soon as possible (applications reviewed until positions are filled).
Application Process Send to GutBrainCMUMayo@gmail.com and pulkit@cmu.edu, with the subject line "Gut-Brain Axis Position", specifying expertise (rodent/engineering/swine) (i) CV, (ii) Statement of research experience & interests, (iii) Expected date of availability, (iv) Contact information for three references.
This opportunity offers a challenging and interdisciplinary environment to work on cutting-edge neural interfacing techniques and fundamental neuroscience studies.
