The Research Associate will apply their expertise and knowledge in behavioural neuroscience, neuropharmacology, and neurodevelopmental models of cannabinoid exposure to support a multidisciplinary research program investigating the neurobiological consequences of prenatal and adolescent cannabinoid exposure, under the direction of a Principal Investigator. The role will independently design, conduct, and oversee complex pre-clinical research studies, contribute to experimental planning and data interpretation, and support the achievement of the Principal Investigator’s research objectives through technical leadership, scholarly contributions, and trainee supervision. The role will also prepare reports and other written material for presentations and/or submissions to various stakeholders as required. The position will play a key role in advancing scientific knowledge related to the molecular, cellular, circuit-level, and behavioural mechanisms that contribute to neuropsychiatric vulnerability following developmental cannabinoid exposure.
