Princeton University's Neuroscience Institute seeks applicants for a Research Assistant position in a premiere research laboratory whose work focuses on neural circuits for social communication and sensorimotor integration using the fruit fly Drosophila as a model system (see murthylab.princeton.edu - Research in the lab employs state-of-the-art neuroscience approaches, including quantitative behavior analyses, computational modeling, neural recordings, connectomics, molecular biology, and genetic tools. We are looking for an enthusiastic and hard-working individual who has a willingness to learn and acquire new skills (and a demonstrated track record in learning new techniques). The RA will work with lab members on conducting behavioral and neural imaging experiments, and on analyzing experimental data. Prior experience with Drosophila and/or neuroscience is strongly preferred.
This is a one-year term position with the possibility of renewal contingent upon performance and funding.
Assist postdoctoral fellows and graduate students on behavioral and calcium imaging experiments related to the neural basis of sensorimotor behaviors in Drosophila. These experiments will seek to validate hypotheses generated from the recently completed fly whole-brain connectome. Apply scientific and technical knowledge to lab research projects, conduct rigorous data analysis, contribute results and scientific writing.
