Research technician, Bondi lab, traumatic brain injury
University of Pittsburgh
The Bondi laboratory at the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated, organized, and detail-oriented individual to fill a full-time Research Laboratory Technician position. The laboratory pursues a variety of behavioral, neurochemical, and molecular-based approaches to investigate complex cognitive processing deficits and distinct neurobehavioral and neurochemical alterations relevant to psychiatric disorders after experimental traumatic brain injury. Techniques include complex rodent attentional tasks, Western blotting, tissue processing, immunostaining, and microscopy. The candidate will support the daily experimental work of the laboratory and will be responsible for day-to-day lab management, organization, as well as student training and scheduling. He/she/they will be expected to have excellent communication skills, troubleshoot technical issues, and assist with statistical analyses and graphic presentation of data. Additional responsibilities include preparing reagents necessary for research, maintaining lab inventory, including timely ordering of required supplies.
Under the supervision of the PI, the candidate is expected to work independently carrying out standard behavioral, molecular, and histological work. Must have a proactive personality with an ability to learn new skills and techniques; the ability to think about the underlying science behind the experiments is desirable for this position. Additionally, the candidate should be familiar with basic computing and data analysis software.
Bachelor’s of science degree in neuroscience, psychology, biology, chemistry, or related field is required. Participate in regular laboratory meetings and journal clubs. The position may require some evening hours or weekend hours but those would occur sporadically. The position is located at the Rangos Research Center, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA.

Postdoctoral Fellow - Targeting the Gut Brain Axis in Parkinson’s disease
QUT - Translational Research Institute (TRI)
We are recruiting for a 3-year postdoc position (Academic Level A) to study the gut-brain axis and microbiome targeted therapies in Parkinson’s disease. This research program will be funded by a recently-awarded US Department of Defence (DOD) grant commencing in 2023 and will be based at the Centre for Microbiome Research (CMR) at the Translational Research Institute (TRI) in Brisbane, Australia. This project will involve work in gnotobiotic mice with pharmacological interventions to modulate the gut microbiota for disease modification. These studies will be complemented by functional metagenomics and metabolomics studies in human and mouse samples. This translational program will be run in collaboration with industry partners and international collaborations in the USA.

Italian Institute of Technology
We are looking for an experienced behavioral neuroscientist interested in developing and applying a variety of behavioral paradigms to investigate how the dynamics of synaptic neuromodulators (serotonin and noradrenaline) shape interaction between brain regions for valence processing and motor control, to implement adaptive, flexible decision-making, and support the
learning of inflexible actions.
To this purpose, you will combine behavioral investigation in murine animal models
with in-vivo large-scale neuronal imaging as well as the latest optogenetic and chemogenetic
approaches to deconstruct and manipulate neuronal circuits.

The successful candidate will examine how midbrain neuromodulatory circuits and target-specific modulation of the descending prefrontal cortex inputs shape the processing of emotional state information in motor control regions (striatum), both in health and disease states (psychomotor and affective disorders
To this purpose, the candidate will apply neurophysiological, optogenetic and chemogenetic approaches, which will be complemented by state-of-the art large-scale population imaging techniques during behavioral paradigms.
