JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS

Yongsoo Kim lab at Penn State University College of Medicine is looking for a part-time intern.
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.
We are looking for a summer intern who wish to gain experimental knowledge on high resolution 3D mapping and related computational analysis. No prior research experience is required.
Eligible candidates should submit a CV or a resume.
