The Haber lab seeks a scientifically minded individual with excellent organizational and analytic skills to join our group as a technical research assistant (RA). Working under the general supervision of a Research Fellow, Instructor, and/or Principal Investigator and following established policies and procedures, the RA will assist in research focused on understanding the postnatal development of circuits that underlie the reward system and decision-making.

The Haber lab is a translational neuroscience laboratory that uses a multidisciplinary approach to delineate anatomic connections of the prefrontal cortex, limbic system, and basal ganglia that underlie motivation and decision-making. We use this data to develop connectivity profiles in the human brain, with a particular focus on how circuit abnormalities are related to specific connections in obsessive-compulsive disorder, addiction, and depression. We use a combination of anatomic tracing data, computational tools, and imaging (diffusion MRI and resting state MRI in both animals and humans) to model neural network interactions. The successful applicant will join a vibrant and collaborative laboratory and scientific community at McLean Hospital.
