The Haber lab seeks a scientifically minded individual with excellent organizational and analytic skills to join our group as a technical research assistant (RA).
Working under the general supervision of a Research Fellow, Instructor, and / or Principal Investigator and following established policies and procedures, the RA will assist in research focused on understanding the postnatal development of circuits that underlie the reward system and decision-making.
These studies focus specifically on brain regions in which abnormal connectivity has been linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and addiction.
The successful candidate will conduct a variety of combined microscopy / histological analyses with quantitative and computational pipelines to delineate and model pathways and connections between brain regions in the adult brain and during postnatal development.
Applicants should have a strong interest in preclinical and translational neuroscience. Good computational skills and basic / intermediate proficiency in Python, Matlab, or similar are preferred.
Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, and transcripts.
The Haber lab is a translational neuroscience laboratory that uses a multidisciplinary approach to delineate anatomic connections of the prefrontal cortex, limbic system, and basal ganglia that underlie motivation and decision-making.
We use this data to develop connectivity profiles in the human brain, with a particular focus on how circuit abnormalities are related to specific connections in obsessive-compulsive disorder, addiction, and depression.
We use a combination of anatomic tracing data, computational tools, and imaging (diffusion MRI and resting state MRI in both animals and humans) to model neural network interactions.
The successful applicant will join a vibrant and collaborative laboratory and scientific community at McLean Hospital.
