Technical Assistant
The Dynamic Embodied Brain Lab (DEB Lab) at the International Center for Primate Brain Research (ICPBR) of the Institute of Neuroscience (ION) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is looking for a highly motivated technical assistant.
Lab interests
The DEB lab studies brain pathways through which physiological signals from the body (e.g., heart rate) influence functions of the brain, including emotions and emotional disorders. The lab combines state-of-the-art methods including high-resolution tracing of neuronal projections, single-cell proteomics and transcriptomics, complex cranial surgeries and intracranial investigation with electrophysiology and neuroimaging in non-human primates.
Job description
The successful candidate will assist in different experiments and in organizing the lab: preparation of histological, microscopy, electrophysiology and neuroimaging experiments, surgeries, maintenance and supplying of research setups, training and supervising new lab members, contacting suppliers and service companies, and help harmonizing the lab’s dynamic.
Working environment
The ICPBR and the DEB lab offer a unique international research atmosphere in Shanghai. The DEB Lab is centered in Shanghai with additional activities in Germany, Belgium, and New York. The ICPBR is equipped with cutting-edge neuroscience technologies, including high-resolution MRI scanners (4.7T, 7T, 9.4T), top-level surgery rooms, experimental setups, and animal facilities.
Requirements
Bachelor or master’s in biology, engineering, biomedicine or similar. Highly motivated, diligent, organized and good communicator. Fluent in English. Prior experience working in a research laboratory.
To get more information and/or to apply, please contact Dr. Henry Evrard (henry.evrard@icpbr.ac.cn) or the DEB Lab manager, Ms. Qian Liang (qian.liang@icpbr.ac.cn).
DEB Lab招聘实验室技术助理
国际灵长类脑研究中心（ICPBR）的全身动态脑研究实验室（DEB Lab），隶属于中国科学院脑科学与智能技术卓越创新中心（CEBSIT/ION）。本实验室现招募一名对神经科学有兴趣并对工作积极进取的实验室技术助理。
实验室研究方向：
DEB Lab主要研究身体与大脑之间的动态联系，包括与脑岛叶皮层和 Von Economo神经元之间的联系，对于探究机体的生理信息（如心跳）如何影响情绪、认知、自我意识的产生和精神障碍疾病（如痴呆症）的发生，具有重大意义。本研究组根据课题需求将分别进行复杂的猕猴神经外科手术，进行组织学实验（Nissl染色、免疫组化、原位杂交），进行单细胞RNA提取（Patch-Seq），神经电生理实验，对大脑通路成像进行从二维到三维的重建，以及对非人灵长类动物进行高分辨的功能性神经成像。
岗位职责:
实验室技术助理将协助开展各种实验的准备和组织安排工作，如：组化实验、显微成像实验、电生理实验和神经影像学实验的准备工作；外科手术的准备工作；协助进行安装维修实验室相关设备；对新入组成员进行培训和指导；必要时沟通联系供应商和维修服务公司；协助维护实验室的良好运行秩序。
工作环境：
ICPBR和DEB Lab提供了在上海独一无二的高度国际化的科研氛围。成为DEB Lab的一员也将受益于其国际合作项目，有机会在全球4个不同的科研中心开展活动（分别位于上海、比利时鲁汶、德国图宾根和美国纽约）。ICPBR 配备了最先进的神经科学技术，包括高分辨率磁共振成像扫描仪（4.7T、7T、9.4T）、顶级手术室设施、先进的实验设备和一流的实验动物中心。
应聘要求：
- 应聘者需拥有生物学/医学/工程学或相关专业的本科及以上学历；
- 应聘者需英语流利；
- 应聘者需勤奋工作、积极主动、自主性强、善于探索求知；
- 应聘者需具有实验室工作的经验。
