The brain is the most complex object known to mankind, and understanding how it functions is a major scientific challenge for our future. To truly understand the brain, we can take inspiration from how it grows and develops, creating the abilities, thoughts and feelings that we experience every day. The Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences is an internationally recognised leader in brain research, and is developing a new large program well funded by National and Local governments combining cutting-edge animal models of different types of brain disease. These models require measurements of cognitive and behavioural abilities, including how they develop across lifespan.

We are looking for research assistants to help develop tasks and train infant non-human primates, studying their behavioral and cognitive development. Such tests are guided by the ecological relevance for natural behavior, including development of hand-eye dexterity, development of working memory used during foraging, and evolution of higher cognitive skills like object permanence and an intuitive understanding of physics. Measurements will include non-invasive collection of eye position and pupil size using state of the art eye tracking.

And we also need assistants to help do a neuro plasticity project. People need to do some histology and related using the NHP.
