About The Position
The Penn State College of Medicine, Department of Neuroscience and Experimental Systems, Yongsoo Kim Lab, in Hershey, PA is looking for a highly trained neuroscientist at the level of assistant professor (non-tenure track). We have multiple current and incoming NIH projects to establish cellular cell type architecture maps of mammalian brains using mice as an animal model. Three main lines of research include 1) the brain-wide mapping of brain cell types including GABAergic neurons, glia, and cerebrovascular network, 2) anatomical and functional investigation of the oxytocin system in the context of social behavior and neurodevelopment, and 3) creating 3D atlases for developing mouse brains. We utilize high-resolution 3D imaging tools (e.g., light sheet fluorescent microscopy) and computational approaches to examine cellular resolution details in the whole mouse brain. Moreover, we use systems neuroscience approaches (e.g., miniscope neural recording, connectivity tracing) to examine circuit specific function in the brain.
