JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
A postdoctoral fellow position is available at the laboratory of Yang Yang in the Department of Pharmacology of Pennsylvania State University, College of Medicine in Hershey, PA.
We seek highly motivated and dedicated individuals to participate in our study on mechanisms of neural modulations in the brain affecting behavior.
The Yang lab is a part of Translational Brain Research Center and uniquely positioned as a hub to carry interdisciplinary studies with an emphasis on neuronal and molecular mechanisms of cognition.
We use multi-disciplinary approaches ranging from behavioral neuroscience and in vivo electrophysiology to in vitro molecular and computational modeling and pharmacology.
One goal is to understand how specific receptor systems affect the function of critical cognitive systems, and use this knowledge to discover and develop novel therapeutics as treatment or prevention for cognitive decline, commonly seen in many neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and normal aging.
For additional information about Dr. Yang, please refer to the website at
As part of this position, the candidate will be given the opportunity to learn and master neurophysiological, behavioral, and pharmacological techniques routinely performed in our lab, and use quantitative and analytical skills to carry out in-depth neuroscience and mechanistic studies.
D. in Neuroscience, Physiology, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology, or a related discipline.
Preference will be given to candidates with some prior experience in one of the approaches we use (e.g., in vivo electrophysiology, rodent behavior, general neuroscience methods, etc.), and a desire to become more multidisciplinary, but an interest in the function of the brain is essential.
The initial appointment is for one-year renewable upon mutual agreement. Salary is commensurate with skills and level of experience.Information on University benefits programs, including eligibility, is located at As one of the top-rated public universities in the country, the Pennsylvania State University is internationally renowned for its excellence in academics and research.
