Position Summary
Columbia University's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute brings together world-class scientists across academic disciplines conducting pioneering research to transform our understanding of how the brain works - and gives rise to mind and behavior. The Institute fosters a collaborative and inclusive environment across 50+ labs, advancing insights into human health by exploring how the brain develops, performs, endures and recovers.
At the Zuckerman Institute, we are committed to becoming a more inclusive, equitable and diverse place of scientific discovery and support a culture of respect. Promoting diversity in science will help drive the transformative science that can change the world.
Situated in the Jerome L. Greene Science Center on Columbia?s Manhattanville campus, the state-of-the-art building offers an environment where the highest level of scholarly scientific research takes place on a daily basis, with the benefit of being located in the heart of New York, one of the world?s most vibrant and culturally rich cities
The laboratory of Dr. Richard Axel at the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute has an open full-time position for a Research Staff Assistant (lab technician). The Axel lab has expanded its research program to investigate how cuttlefish (a cephalopod similar to octopus) dynamically camouflage to their surroundings. Cuttlefish are able to camouflage within milliseconds by altering the color, pattern and texture of their skin, which is controlled by the brain. The Axel lab wishes to understand how cuttlefish create an internal representation of the visual world in the brain, and then transform this representation into an approximation of the visual world on the skin. The group is developing molecular tools, conducting behavioral experiments and performing advanced neural imaging.
The Research Staff Assistant will work closely with the postdoctoral fellow leading this project, and report directly to the Principal Investigator. The Research Staff Assistant will have the opportunity to participate in the vibrant intellectual community of the Axel laboratory located in the Jerome L. Greene Science Center on Columbia?s Manhattanville campus. We seek highly motivated, skilled, and dynamic individuals who are enthusiastic about a career in science.
This is a full-time grant-funded role.
