Jobs

The Neuroscience Research Institute and the Departments of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology and of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for Postdoc positions.

A position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Kenneth Kosik to conduct research on mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegeneration using post-mortem human brains with single cell RNA and ATAC sequencing. This will involve isolating nuclei from frozen postmortem human brains. Furthermore, the appointee will conduct single-cell multiome experiments, sequencing library preparation and bioinformatic analysis of the multiome data. The appointee will be expected to make significant, original, and creative contributions to the research project, collaborate with other team members, and publish research.

The Goard lab is seeking a full-time (100%) Junior Specialist (Research Technician) interested in using cutting edge optical and physiological techniques to probe sensory processing and cognitive function. Although there will be some lab management duties (e.g., ordering), this position will primarily be an opportunity to design and build physiology equipment and carry out a supervised research project to gain hands-on laboratory experience.
