Engineer position in Neurophysiology

The team Development and Neurobiology of Neural Network (DN3) at INCIA is hiring an engineer to investigate the phenotypes and functions of microglia in a rodent model of Central Congenital Hypoventilation Syndrom (CCHS).

You will be in charge of:

• Performing immunohistological analysis of microglia on brainstem tissue samples from wild-type and mutant mouse embryos (immunostainings, confocal imaging and image analysis)
• Performing electrophysiological recordings of respiratory activity generated in isolated brainstem preparations + drug testing.
• Performing molecular biology analysis (Western Blot, RNA extraction for RNA sequencing and qPCR)

You will be working in collaboration with several researchers and students of the team and with researchers of NutriNeuro (the lab we are collaborating with on this project). You will interact with other members of the laboratory and contribute to the everyday life of the laboratory. You will have access to all the equipment required for the project.
