2 days ago

Seattle WA United States University of Washington Full time

Department: WASHINGTON NATIONAL PRIMATE CENTER (WaNPRC)

Benefits: As a UW employee, you will enjoy generous benefits and work/life programs. For a complete description of our benefits for this position, please visit our website.

This position is H-1B eligible.

POSITION PURPOSE

The primary purpose of the Research Scientist/Engineer 4 (E S UAW RSE) is to provide the appropriate environment to support outstanding biomedical research directed towards significant human health issues and nonhuman primate health and biology. Expected areas of applicable skills will be in performing neurophysiological experiments such as single unit and/or multi-unit extracellular recording in brainstem oculomotor areas, microstimulation, training monkeys to perform oculomotor tasks, data analysis, minor surgical procedures, and assistance with major surgeries. Attention to detail in data acquisition, data analysis and presentation is also required. High priority is placed on a strong desire to maximize productivity (as measured by publication in peer-reviewed journals), following IACUC protocols, communication and collaboration with other teams such as BMS, husbandry, and veterinary personnel.

Position Description: We are seeking one research scientist to contribute to an active research program in the laboratory of Dr. Mark Walton. The incoming researcher will use a variety of neurophysiological approaches to investigate neurophysiological abnormalities in a nonhuman primate model of the infantile strabismus syndrome and/or investigate the neural basis of vergence and disjunctive eye movements between targets that differ in both direction and distance.

The Walton Laboratory is equipped with novel display systems that allow the experimenter to elicit saccades, smooth pursuit, vergence, combined saccade-vergence movements (disjunctive saccades), and smooth tracking of visual targets moving in depth. This position is supported by NIH grants through at least the first quarter of 2029.
