fields. Applicants must have an M.D. or Ph.D or equivalent degree.
Responsibilities may include conducting translational neuroscience research focused on mechanisms of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and neuromodulation using mouse models and human neuroimaging approaches; designing and performing experiments involving in vivo optical imaging, electrophysiology, behavioral phenotyping, and computational analysis; contributing to the development and implementation of clinical translational research protocols related to ECT and other neuromodulation interventions; analyzing and interpreting experimental data; preparing manuscripts and presentations for scientific meetings and peer-reviewed publication; assisting with mentorship and training of students and research staff; and participating in collaborative interdisciplinary research activities within the Department of Psychiatry and affiliated neuroscience programs.
The successful applicant will have an opportunity to work closely with faculty across psychiatry, neurology, neuroscience, engineering, and neuroimaging; leverage advanced optical imaging and systems neuroscience approaches in both animal models and human studies; contribute to ongoing clinical and translational investigations in ECT and related interventions; pursue career development and extramural funding opportunities; and participate in the education and mentorship of trainees within Penn Psychiatry’s physician-scientist training environment.
Prior experience with translational neuroscience research, in vivo imaging, electrophysiology, computational analysis, or neuromodulation approaches is preferred. Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary research environment are highly desirable.
