Positions
Prospective PhD students:
The lab takes graduate students primarily through the MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences graduate program, but also via the Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience Program with MIT Biology, the MIT Department of Physics, and the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences Technology Program.
Technical Associate Openings:
The Harnett Lab is currently searching for a technician to perform systems neuroscience research in the Harnett Lab. Our lab aims to
understand how the biophysical properties of neurons give rise to the cortical computations that guide mammalian behavior. The position will contribute to one or more ongoing research projects and offers the opportunity to develop an independent research component. Responsibilities will include a subset of the following: rodent behavioral experiments, in vivo neural recordings (Neuropixels and 2-photon microscopy), slice electrophysiology, rodent brain surgery, histology, confocal microscopy, data processing and curation.
