Jeansok J. Kim (born 1963) is a psychologist/behavioral neuroscientist, whose research has focused on Pavlovian Conditioning, Neurocognitive Effects of Stress, and Biological Mechanisms of Fear, employing rats, rabbits, and genetically-engineered mice.

Kim received his B.S. (1987), M.S. (1989), and Ph.D. (1991) from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). After his doctoral thesis (Neural Mechanisms Involved in Fear Plasticity) under Professor Michael S. Fanselow at UCLA, he joined Professor Richard F. Thompson’s laboratory at the University of Southern California (USC) as a postdoctoral fellow (1991-1995). Afterward, Kim has been a research assistant professor (1995-1996) in the psychology department at USC, and an assistant (1996-2002) and an associate professor (2002-2003) in the psychology department at Yale University. In 2003, Kim moved to the University of Washington, Seattle and is currently a professor in the psychology department.

Kim’s scholarly work has been recognized by his receipt of the Joseph A. Gengerelli Distinguished Dissertation Award, UCLA; James McKeen Cattell Award, New York Academy of Sciences (1993); Outstanding Young Researcher Award, Western Psychological Association (1995); The 1st Korean Brain Pool Program Award, The Korean Federation of Science and Technology Society (2003), Distinguished Lectures on Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program, National Institute of Mental Health (2003); Cattell Sabbatical Award, Association for Psychological Science (2009); and Pavlovian Research Award, The Pavlovian Society (2010).
