课题组简介:
i-BRAIN – Institute for Brain Research Advanced Interfaces and Neurotechnologies - is a highly-interdisciplinary research institute focused on developing transformative brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that blur the distinction between electronics and the brain. Founded by world-renowned scientist Prof. Charles Lieber, i-BRAIN will enable groundbreaking research to understand the brain and brain diseases as well as breakthrough technologies for treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases for the near-term but also enable future advances and treatments that today may be considered the realm of science fiction. Additionally, i-BRAIN will instill a positive and highly interdisciplinary culture in the training of young scientists, engineers and doctors such that they are prepared to lead the development of science and engineering as well as the translation of ideas into commercial technologies that benefit present and future generations!
Core Responsibilities:
1.Conduct independent research under the supervision of the Principal Investigator (PI) of the research group.
2.Lead nonhuman primate (NHP) research efforts focused on implementation of novel electrophysiological prob.e technologies within the context of cognitive and motor disease models.
3.Assist with rodent research efforts focused on implementation of novel electrophysiological probe technologies for model studies and treatments of neurodegenerative disease and stroke.
4.Assist in academic manuscript preparation.
5.Mentor postdoctoral researchers, students, and research assistants.
6.Independently or collaboratively assist the PI in applying for research grants.
7.Support lab management tasks.
Qualifications & Requirements:
1.Ph.D. and/or postdoctoral research experience from a leading research institution or university.
2.Strong background in neuroscience or related field with demonstrated independent research capabilities and extensive experimental experience.
3.Experience with NHP surgery, neural probe implantation, as well as cognitive and related studies.
4.Experience with rodent disease models, electrophysiology and histology.
5.Proven track record of high-quality publications as the first or corresponding author.
6.Proficient in English for academic communication.
7.Strong passion for exploring new research directions.
8.Excellent communication, teamwork skills, and academic integrity.
