  • Participate in Institute events including symposia, seminars, and workshops.

Qualifications

Education

  • PhD in Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, or a related field

Experience

  • Cell culture and/or in vivo mouse experience

  • Bioinformatics skills and experience handling high-throughput sequencing datasets is desirable but not required
  • Attention to detail and the ability to work independently
  • Collaborative and inclusive approach to science
