Offer Description

In our laboratory, we study the regulatory control of neuron differentiation.

We are looking for a technical staff to support projects in one or more model systems:

1) In vivo differentiation of Drosophila neurons.

2) Human cortical neural precursor and neuron culture.

3) In vivo and in culture mouse neurogenesis.

In addition, the technical staff will take on laboratory management roles including but not limited to reagent and animal management, documentation, liaising with external vendors, and working with RIKEN administrative officers to achieve the safe and smooth running of the laboratory.

We will carefully consider applications from an experienced researcher with a strong molecular biology, animal handling, and genetics background and effective working practices or from a recent graduate with great promise.

Our laboratory is in the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS), Japan's premier center for neurobiology and neuroscience. We are in Tokyo and have quick access to downtown and accessible routes to the surrounding countryside.

We are diverse and multicultural. We value open communication, collaboration, teamwork, and efficient productivity. The scientific language of our laboratory is English. Additionally, staff members who speak Japanese as a primary language are comfortable with Japanese conversations happening at various levels.
