Exceptionally well-trained scientists with a relevant master’s-level degree, 10+ years of relevant experience and publications may be considered.
Experience and publications with voltage- and/or current-clamp analysis of DRG neurons and/or iPSC-derived neurons, and with brain slice electrophysiology are desirable.
Rank will be commensurate with degree, experience, and publication record.
Superb opportunity to work collaboratively within a highly productive, interactive team setting.
