The main roles of this position will be to run rodent behavioral experiments in a systems neuroscience laboratory (perform in vivo electrophysiology with optogenetic manipulations during motor learning and sleep), help with processing behavioral and electrophysiologic data, and perform histology and microscopy of brain sections. This job involves handling mice, operating small electronics for behavioral experiments, basic coding and some basic wet-lab skills. A secondary responsibility will be to perform mouse survival surgeries for neural circuit mapping and sleep behavior experiments (when tasks related to the main roles are completed). KEY REPONSIBILITIES Identify the functions or tasks that employees in the job perform. The essential functions should state the purpose of the work and the results to be accomplished, rather than how the function is performed. Of the tasks listed, what percentage of time is devoted to each? The more time employees spend on a function, the more likely it is that the function is essential. Generally, include those functions that account for 10% or more of the work, i.e., key items that contribute significantly to the achievement of the job. The functions should add up to 100%.
