<p class="MsoNormal"><i>This Research Assistant position is (at minimum) a 2 year commitment at the Saunders Lab within the Vollum Institute at OHSU (Portland, OR). We're looking for a highly-motivated and organized person that might have training and research
experience in computational biology or molecular genetics and an interest in integrating bench and bioinformatic experiments. This young scientist would work on an independent research project involving brain circuitry and neurotropic viruses, likely paired
with a talented incoming postdoc from France. The aim of this research duo will be to study neurotropic virus - host cell biology using single-cell genomic methods and develop next-generation tools for mapping synaptic connections amongst brain cells. </i><o:p></o:p></p>
