Postdoctoral Researchers in Neuromodulation, Neurodegeneration, and Metabolomics at GIST-KIST REMAP Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea

GIST and KIST are recruiting up to 5 postdoctoral researchers for the REMAP (REprogramming Metabolism And Plasticity) joint initiative.

The project focuses on developing a non-invasive brain stimulation platform using ultra-high-frequency magnetic stimulation to address Alzheimer's disease through two complementary directions: metabolic rescue and plasticity recovery.

This is a strong fit for researchers in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, medical science, biology, and related translational fields, especially those with interests in neuromodulation, neurodegeneration, metabolomics, and brain stimulation technologies.

What stands out about REMAP is the emphasis on independence: selected postdocs are expected to lead their own projects, receive dual mentorship across GIST and KIST, and follow a structured path toward becoming an independent PI.

Funding is substantial, with up to KRW 150M per year covering salary plus an independent research fund. The appointment can last up to 5 years.

Eligibility highlights include being within 5 years of the PhD and having a strong research interest in the listed areas. The post is explicitly for postdoctoral researchers, not PhD or master's applicants.

Announcer: Euiheon Chung, Full Professor in Biomedical Science & Engineering at GIST. The post also references KIST BINGRE Lab led by Dr. Hoon Ryu and GIST Neurophotonics Lab.
