Morgridge Institute for Research
Civic Science Fellow – Science Communication
The Rita Allen Civic Science Fellow working with the Science Incubator Lab is a full time 18-month fellowship position focusing on evidence-based approaches to communicating about science in polarized political or information environments. We are particularly excited for our Civic Science Fellow to explore ways of depolarizing policy-relevant debates about biomedical science.
Civic Science Fellow – Community Engagement
Description: There will be two Rita Allen Civic Science Fellows at the Morgridge Institute; each is a full time 18-month fellowship position focusing on evidence-based approaches to communicating about science
Assistant Research Specialist – Poss Lab
The Poss group utilize zebrafish, and, occasionally, mice as model systems to study regeneration of tissues like heart muscle, kidney, spinal cord, and appendages. The primary focus of this position is regeneration research with duties involving (but not limited to) molecular biology, histology, surgeries, microinjection, and imaging and analysis, with opportunities for co-authorships on published manuscripts. There also will be some animal husbandry and general lab responsibilities. Training will be provided by the laboratory. We welcome ambitious applicants with enthusiasm for regenerative biology and for working with research zebrafish.
Morgridge scientists and staff are deeply engaged with a world-class public university. We are a catalyst to take science further in collaborations with UW–Madison.
