A research technician position is available in the laboratory of Anthony Leonardo at the Janelia Farm Research Campus (JFRC) of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (Ashburn, VA).
We are investigating the neural basis of prey capture in the salamander retina. The technician position involves using a multi-electrode array to record extracellularly from large numbers of retinal ganglion cells while simultaneously delivering patterned light stimulation to the photoreceptors. More information on our lab may be found here: http://www.hhmi.org/research/groupleaders/leonardo.html
An undergraduate degree, previous neurophysiology research experience, and proficiency with Matlab are required. This is an ideal position for a new college graduate who wishes to do a year or two of research before entering a PhD program (perhaps at JFRC). This is a full-time position with a minimum 1 year commitment. To apply, please send a cv, research statement, and contact info for 2-3 references to Anthony Leonardo (leonardoa@janelia.hhmi.org).
