Research Specialist: Devineni Lab

Job Number: 92084

Job Type: Regular Full-Time

Standard Hours: 40 Std Hours = 1.00 FTE

Job Category: Laboratory

The Devineni Lab is seeking a research specialist to perform studies in fruit flies (Drosophila) investigating how neural circuits in the brain process sensory information. Experiments may include dissections and immunostaining of fly brains, testing fly behavior, optogenetic manipulations, and in vivo imaging of neural activity. Depending on the person’s interests and skills, they may also assist in building experimental hardware or writing software. Other responsibilities will include general lab tasks such as ordering supplies and maintaining fly stocks. The research specialist will work closely with the principal investigator, and contributions to experiments will merit authorship on resulting publications.
