  • Attend and present technical status reports at meetings.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

  • Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance which requires U.S. Citizenship.
  • M.S. in Neuroscience or related field, or the equivalent combination of education and related experience.
  • Proficient experience with rat behavior and physiology techniques, including electrophysiology, behavioral testing and apparatus training and optimization.
  • Proficiency in statistical data analyses.
  • Comprehensive experience with ex vivo sample collection and preparation for molecular biology, histology, or -omics analyses.
  • Practical experience with animal handling and behavioral testing
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office applications and comprehensive ability to learn new software.
  • Proficiency with surgical practices and histology
  • AAALAS certification at LAT, LATG or CMAR level desirable.

Qualifications at the SES.3 level:

  • Ph.D. in Neuroscience or related field, or the equivalent combination of education and related experience.
