The Locomotion in Mechanical and Biological Systems (LIMBS) laboratory is seeking a research technologist to work in a highly dynamic and interdisciplinary engineering and neuroscience laboratory on the Homewood campus at the Johns Hopkins University. The LIMBS lab develops and applies advanced experimental and modeling techniques to study the interplay between neural systems and biomechanics in a wide range of biological systems (see https://limbs.lcsr.jhu.edu/ for more information). Duties include building, maintaining, and programming custom experimental hardware; training animals in behavioral tasks; assisting in collection of data; analysis of behavioral and neurophysiological data; ordering lab supplies; and upkeep of animal care facility as well as general lab maintenance. Flexible hours, including some weekends, is a requirement.
Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, computer science, neuroscience, or related fields is essential and prior experience in a laboratory setting is highly desirable. Strong technical skills in one or more areas (e.g. computer skills such as programming in Matlab, facility with hand tools, knowledge of basic hardware/electronics) are desirable.
Interested? Please send a single PDF including a brief (1 page) cover letter and resume / cv (no more than 2 pages, including a list of 2 references) to ncowan@jhu.edu
