Assistant​/Associate Project Scientist - Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience- Wilbrecht lab - Ne

The Neuroscience department at the University of California, Berkeley seeks applications for an Assistant/Associate Project Scientist in the Wilbrecht Lab, in the area of behavioral and systems neuroscience.

The Wilbrecht lab studies the effects of early life adversity and psychiatric risk genes on the development of learning and decision making. We also measure neural activity to determine how neural circuits support different learning phenotypes.

The Wilbrecht lab projects are highly collaborative and include teams of researchers located at UC Berkeley and other universities. Within UC Berkeley, the successful candidate will have access to multiple departments, including psychology, molecular and cell biology, integrative biology, statistics, and the Center for Computational Biology.

The position will contribute in four major ways:
1) behavioral neurobiology experiments (husbandry, training, recording, and histology,
2) data analyses and computational modeling (planning and execution),
3) writing and revising drafts of manuscripts and grants, and
4) mentoring and managing materials, supplies, and data.

Responsibilities:

● designing and executing experiments

● data management

● protocol management

● safety management

● reagent management

● equipment management

● data analysis

● manuscript preparation

● presenting research and attending lab meetings

● contributing to grant proposals

● mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral researchers
