The Staff Scientist will use a combination of techniques including in-vivo high-speed imaging with voltage-sensors, confocal imaging, and correlative light and electron microscopy to examine mechanisms underlying development, age-related and pathophysiological changes in circuitry. This is a one-year term position contingent on grant funding. This person will report directly to Principal Investigator (and Dean of Science), Dr. Jeff Lichtman.</p>
