The Translational Neuroimaging and Systems Neuroscience Lab (TNSNL) at Pennsylvania State University is seeking qualified and highly motivated individuals to fill multiple Postdoctoral Fellow and/or Research Associate positions to conduct small animal neuroimaging studies funded by NIH BRAIN Initiative grant. The research in our lab encompasses developing cutting-edge neuroimaging technology by combining fMRI, electrophysiology, behavioral and optogenetic approaches, as well as using these techniques to characterize animal models of mental disorders. 

Postdoc/Research Associate applicants must have a PhD in Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Biology, Physics or a related discipline. Candidates with expertise in in vivo electrophysiology, optogenetics, calcium signal recording, small animal fMRI and/or neuroimaging data analysis are strongly encouraged to apply. 

The position will be in the Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department and affiliated with the Penn State Institute of Neurosciences, as well as the Center for neural engineering. The Penn State BME department, Institute of Neurosciences of the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences (http://www.huck.psu.edu) provide a rich environment in which faculty, research associates, postdocs and graduate/undergraduate students regularly interact and conduct collaborative studies. Affiliated faculty and students have access to the Institutes’ state-of-the-art core facilities.
