<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Avenir">We have two open positions. The first position (Lab Manager) is primarily responsible for lab operations, including onboarding new lab members, supervising undergraduate research assistants,
managing institutional review board applications, recruiting participants, and collecting data. The second position (Lab Technician) is primarily responsible for maintaining and improving the lab's processes for data analysis, management and sharing, as well
as making all of the lab's scientific activities more open and replicable, building on the lab's technical capabilities, acting as the lab's liaison for MIT's computing cluster, and maintaining the lab websites. Both positions provide opportunities to contribute
to scientific projects, and/or to pursue a personal project under the PI’s supervision, and thus to earn authorship on publications. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Avenir">These positions are typically held for two years, as a bridge to graduate school. The base salary is $48,000/year. Applicants with at least two years of full-time research experience, including
a maximum of up to one year of undergraduate experience, are eligible for higher salaries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Institute for Brain research</a>. The core values of the Saxelab include (i) we commit to improving transparency, accessibility, and reliability of scientific research, (ii) we recognize and affirm the diversity of our community, and (iii) we commit to take
action to increase inclusion, equity, belonging, and justice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
