Overview

We have a neonatal rabbit and a mouse model of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Our rabbit experiments include performing C-section to deliver E29 rabbit kits, care for and feed them for up to 3 weeks. At E29, we induce IVH and determine the severity of IVH by head ultrasound. We employ genetic and pharmacological strategies to minimize brain injury and promote neurological recovery.

• A simple/ limited understanding of scientific literature and the research goals and rationale is required
• Occasionally analyze data
• Rarely interpret data

• Required to have at least a Bachelor's Degree in a related science or equivalent skills and related experience, and zero to two years of related experience

Preferred:

• 1 to 2 years experience with tissue culture, mouse bleeding and surgery molecular biology and assays preferred
