About Northeastern:
Founded in 1898, Northeastern is a global research university and the recognized leader in experience-driven lifelong learning. Our world-renowned experiential approach empowers our students, faculty, alumni, and partners to create impact far beyond the confines of discipline, degree, and campus.

Our locations—in Boston; Charlotte, North Carolina; London; Portland, Maine; San Francisco; Seattle; Silicon Valley; Toronto; Vancouver; and the Massachusetts communities of Burlington and Nahant—are nodes in our growing global university system. Through this network, we expand opportunities for flexible, student-centered learning and collaborative, solutions-focused research.

Among these, we offer more than 195 multi-discipline majors and degrees designed to prepare students for purposeful lives and careers.



About the Opportunity:


Responsibilities:
The primary purpose of the Research Technician will be managing the day-to-day operations of the laboratory including ordering and organization of supplies, keeping lab records and data organized, maintaining the animal breeding colony, and managing necessary training for new undergraduate volunteers. The individual will also be responsible at times for recording and analyzing data and organizing results in a form suitable to publication. The Technician will be under supervision of the Principle Investigator of the laboratory. The experimental procedures of this job could include rodent handling, rodent surgeries, immunohistochemistry, microscopy, Western blotting and ELISA, as well as behavioral experimentation. Responsibilities will also include assisting graduate students with ongoing research projects, conducting an independent research project (if that is of interest), keeping excellent records, and presenting at lab meetings and/or scientific conferences (if that is of interest). It is important that the Technician possesses an eagerness to learn and implement new scientific ideas and methods, can work well as part of a team, and is able to follow instructions with precision and attention to detail. A minimum spoken commitment of 2 years is highly preferred.

Qualifications:
This position will require at minimum a B.S degree in Behavioral Neuroscience or a related discipline, as well as experience working with rodents in a laboratory setting. The most successful candidates will also have lab-bench experience (ELISA, rtPCR, RNAscope) outside of undergraduate laboratory courses.


Preferred Qualifications:





Salary Grade: 44
