POSITION DESCRIPTION

At UC San Diego, Project Scientists are academic researchers who are expected to make significant and creative contributions to a research team, but are not necessarily leaders of the research team. They are not required to carry out independent research or develop an independent research reputation but will publish and carry out research or creative programs with supervision by a member of the Professor or Professional Research series. This position will involve performing neuroscience experiments in animals that require significant technical expertise for surgical approaches, developing technologies for data collection and computational analyses for data analysis. The individual will be responsible for all elements of this work in the lab, including the care and maintenance of colonies of research animals. Project Scientists may not serve as a Principal Investigator but may serve as Co-Principal Investigators with members of the Professor or Research Scientist series. University and public service are encouraged but not required and they do not have formal teaching responsibilities. Appointments and duration vary depending on the length of the research project and availability of funding.
