Columbia University’s Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute (the Zuckerman Institute) brings together researchers to explore aspects of mind and brain, through the exchange of ideas and active collaboration. The Zuckerman Institute’s home will be the Jerome L. Greene Science Center on Columbia’s new Manhattanville campus. Situated in the heart of Manhattan, at full capacity the Zuckerman Institute will house approximately 47 laboratories employing a broad range of interdisciplinary approaches to transform our understanding of the mind and brain. In this highly collaborative environment, labs work together to gain critical insights into human health by exploring how the brain develops, performs, endures and recovers from trauma or disease.

A lab within the Zuckerman Institute seeks an Associate Research Scientist (ARS) to facilitate research in systems neuroscience using experimental and analytical methods to carry out in vivo calcium imaging of hippocampal neuronal activity in mouse model during memory consolidation.
The ideal candidate will have expertise hippocampal behaviors and in vivo physiology, two-photon calcium imaging and strong computational skills, as well as superior motivation, drive and demonstrated aptitude for research.
