A Research Technician I position is available in the Pouchelon Lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Our lab investigates the nature and nurture mechanisms involved in the development of cortical neural circuits and their alterations in neurodevelopmental disorders. More specifically, we focus on the various neuromodulator cues that neurons in early development are exposed to and their effect on the establishment of excitation/inhibition circuits. To tackle these questions, we use multidisciplinary approaches including genomics, optogenetics, viral strategies, mouse genetics and behavior analysis. https://pouchelonlab.labsites.cshl.edu/
