Research Technician – Liu Lab

Support research on how the lungs communicate with the nervous system, from the sensory neurons that encode pulmonary state to the downstream circuits that regulate physiology and behaviour. The technician performs mouse surgeries, tissue staining, confocal and light-sheet imaging and multiplexed in situ hybridization to map the anatomy and gene expression of the pulmonary sensory circuit, and helps run the lab as it moves to a new institution.

Bachelor's or master's degree in biology, neuroscience or a related field, with at least three years of hands-on work with laboratory mice and willingness to relocate with the lab within one to two years. Survival-surgery experience is highly preferred; histology, microscopy and RNA in situ hybridization experience are advantageous. Hiring range $45,440–56,800 (Technician II) or $53,840–67,300 (Technician III).
