Position Description

Are you interested in studying how the intense demands of the brain regulate blood-flow and metabolism. At the Gu lab, we explore how the blood vessels in the brain respond to the high demands of neurons by a process called neurovascular coupling. To understand this process, we use cutting-edge technologies in neuroscience, vascular biology, and genetics including live imaging of brain function, optogenetics, electrophysiology, mouse genetics, and viral vectors for genetic manipulation.

During your time as a member of the Gu lab team, you will gain experience with the scientific method, experimental design, leadership, and time management, and have the freedom to implement your own ideas to help to accelerate scientific projects. Specific techniques you will develop include surgical implantation of cranial windows for live brain imaging in mice, molecular biology, genetics, and immunohistochemistry. There are many opportunities for career development and academic growth within the Gu lab and the larger Harvard Medical School system. This would be an ideal position for a passionate, hardworking individual who is looking for a robust career experience of at least 2 years before transitioning to the next chapter of their educational or professional journey.
