<p>Overview</p> <p>The Department of Neuroscience is a basic research department focusing on synaptic biology and glia biology. The lab of Dr. Dulla investigates how synapses are formed and remodeled in the developing nervous system with a broad focus on neurological disease and epilepsy. We address this question in mouse models and apply electrophysiological and imaging approaches, together with mouse behavioral and in vivo electrophysiological studies.</p> <p>What You'll Do</p> <p>Reporting to Principal Investigator, the Lab Manager will be responsible for administrative and technical operations in the lab and will work independently performing a wide range of routine and specialized laboratory duties. Support ongoing immunohistochemical and microscopy based analysis of brain tissue. Develop or modify techniques and protocols. Oversee and manage a mouse colony. Oversee ordering, logistics, and regulatory compliance. Contribute to ongoing projects in the lab and will train/supervise others in the laboratory and help manage laboratory operations and equipment maintenance. The ideal candidate will have experience in cryosectioning brain tissue, immunohistochemical techniques, and confocal microscopy.</p> <ul> <li>Manage laboratory operations, ordering, logistics, and regulatory compliance.
