The Severe Behavior clinical postdoc position focuses on providing behavioral assessments and interventions for children who engage in challenging behavior that cause significant danger or disruption to their lives or the lives of their families. While there is no restriction on the type of challenging behavior, those most frequently encountered include aggression, self-injury, property destruction, disruption, noncompliance, elopement (running away from supervision), and pica (ingesting inedible objects). Patients in the Severe Behavior Programs also represent a range of backgrounds and diagnostic categories. Treatments are matched to the individual needs of the child and their family, but frequently include the teaching communicative alternatives to challenging behaviors. Caregiver training and generalization to the natural environment are key aspects of the treatment model: parents, teachers, or other care-providers are trained in the implementation of the treatment both at the Marcus Autism Center, as well as in naturalistic settings such as in the child’s home, classroom, or other public venues. Children admitted to the intensive outpatient program (IOP) attend five hours per day, five days per week, for an average of 12 weeks. For children with less severe challenging behaviors, outpatient admissions are available that focus on parent training.

Our laboratory centers on the metabolic programs that contribute to neutrophil biology in health and disease. Neutrophils rely primarily on glycolysis for energy production but it is increasingly recognized that mitochondrial metabolic programs contribute to many neutrophil effector functions. We are currently focused on mitochondrial beta-oxidation of long chain fatty acids, as this metabolic program is essential for optimal neutrophil chemotaxis and trafficking to the site of infection in a mouse model of bacterial pneumonia. While current work centers on ex vivo analyses of human neutrophils, mouse neutrophils, and mouse models of bacterial pneumonia and lung injury, we plan to begin studies of mitochondrial metabolism in neutrophils isolated from persons with pneumonia, sepsis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The Saikawa lab in the Department of Environmental Sciences at Emory University is hiring a postdoctoral researcher to join the lab. We are interested in a researcher with strong analytical skillsets and background in climate modeling, with a passion for environmental justice and community-engaged research. Our work focuses on soil contamination, air pollution, and climate change.

A translational research lab at Emory University and the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center is seeking a post-doctoral associate interested in pediatric sarcomas. We are looking for an intelligent and highly motivated individual that will provide significant scientific expertise to our laboratory studying the development and progression of pediatric sarcomas. The applicant should be proficient in basic research and molecular methods including cell culture, western blotting, qPCR, etc., and familiar with using animal model systems. Knowledge of genetics, molecular biology and cancer biology is also preferred. Potential projects for the post-doctoral associate include those related to gaining insights into the molecular pathogenesis of sarcoma development and metastasis, as well as further our understanding of therapeutic resistance, microenvironmental factors and transcriptional regulation. The applicant should be capable of performing independent work, but also be willing to assist others and help mentor more inexperienced/junior members of the laboratory. In addition, integration of applicant’s own prior research experience and independent ideas will be highly encouraged and considered. The applicant should have strong writing and oral communication skills and be willing to participate and present research at a variety of venues including laboratory meetings and conferences. The post-doctoral associate will meet with the PI on a regular basis to discuss research progress as well as any technical issues and outline of future directions.
