Position Summary

The Kim Lab is actively seeking a passionate and talented postdoctoral fellow to contribute to groundbreaking research in the auditory field. We present an exceptional opportunity for scientific growth and professional development.

We study auditory coding and processing using in vivo methods such as two-photon imaging, optogenetics, inner ear drug/gene delivery, and hearing physiology recording. Our primary focus is to understand the receptive properties of peripheral sound encoding, where the auditory circuit begins, and to further explore the circuit map that leads to the midbrain and auditory cortex.
