SHINE Lab investigates brain–body–social mechanisms of regulation under stress.
We aim to conduct rigorous, concept-driven research that integrates behavior, circuit physiology, and molecular state analysis.
We value intellectual clarity, careful experimental design, and steady progress over rapid but superficial output. Lab members are encouraged to take ownership of their ideas while working within a collaborative and respectful environment.
Our goal is not only to produce strong scientific contributions, but also to support the development of independent and thoughtful neuroscientists.
We welcome postdoctoral researchers who are interested in developing independent research programs in systems neuroscience.
Ideal candidates should:
Have a strong publication record with first-author work in international journals
Demonstrate conceptual depth and experimental rigor
Show potential for scientific independence
Postdocs in SHINE Lab are expected to:
Lead projects from conception to publication
Apply for competitive fellowships and external funding
Mentor junior trainees
Develop their own research identity
We aim to support postdocs in building a competitive academic profile through publications, grant writing, and scientific leadership.
Applicants should send:
CV
Brief statement of past research and future goals
Contact information for 2–3 references
We are looking for motivated and curious students interested in social behavior, stress circuits, and brain–body interactions.
Graduate training in SHINE Lab emphasizes:
Conceptual thinking and hypothesis formulation
Technical competence across behavioral and physiological methods
Critical discussion and scientific writing
Gradual development of independence
Students are encouraged to explore ideas broadly at first and refine their direction through step-by-step experimental validation. We value persistence, intellectual honesty, and steady growth.
Interested students should contact us with:
CV
Brief statement of research interests
Academic transcript
Undergraduate and visiting students are welcome, depending on availability.
Successful applicants should:
Demonstrate genuine interest in neuroscience
Commit sufficient time to laboratory training
Be willing to learn carefully and work collaboratively
Positions may be arranged for course credit or research experience. Prior laboratory experience is helpful but not mandatory.
