? Post-doctoral Research Fellow
? Number of Openings: 2
Our laboratory investigates the systems and molecular mechanisms of learning and memory, building on the Principal Investigator's influential work on memory selectivity and assimilation (Science, 2011; Nature, 2016). We aim to elucidate how the hippocampus selectively retains memories and integrates them into neocortical schemas, with a specific focus on catecholaminergic modulation via the locus coeruleus–hippocampus dopamine pathway. Beyond basic neuroscience, we are pioneering translational approaches, including transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for memory restoration and AI-driven schema therapy. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to lead innovative projects bridging molecular biology, systems neuroscience, and cognitive intervention.
