(1) processing and handling of brain tissue, 

(2) tissue sectioning and immunohistochemistry, 

(3) basic microscopy or confocal imaging, 

(4) RT-PCR/Western Blots/ELISAs, 

(5) animal handling and behavior evaluation, 

(6) bacterial handling and culture, 

(7) flow cytometry, 

(8) pharmacokinetic basics, or 

(9) proficiency with statistical software. 

The candidate should be highly motivated, with good communication and writing skills and should be able to interact well with other members of the multidisciplinary team.
