Projects relate to understanding the mechanisms of inflammation and cell death caused by group A Streptococcus (S. pyogenes; strep throat, erysipelas, toxic shock syndrome, necrotizing fasciitis), a serious pathogen with a disease burden disproportionately on women, children, the elderly, and those in resource-poor environments. The research position will entail modeling infections to examine which immune factors are important in forestalling the progression of infections, and characterizing how bacterial factors contribute to virulence. Preference will be given to candidates with a background in bacterial pathogenesis, with prior experience with tissue culture, CRISPR screens, multi-parameter FACS, single-cell RNAseq analysis, and/or animal models.

Duties & Responsibilities: We seek a postdoc fellow to engage in a multi-year project sponsored by National Institutes of Health. The position is open until it is filled. The fellow will work under the guidance of Drs. Amita Manatunga and Limin Peng. The fellow will participate in research activities such as development of statistical methodology and the associated theory, development of computational algorithms and tools, analyses of datasets from biomedical studies. Publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at scientific meetings are expected and encouraged. Position Qualifications: Candidates must hold a PhD, or equivalent, in statistics/biostatistics or relevant areas. Desired skills include proficiency in statistical computing (with R, C, Matlab, or Python), and expertise in some of the following areas. (1) functional data analysis; (2) high-dimensional data analysis; (3) survival analysis (4) predictive modeling; and (4) machine learning.

The Hubert Department of Global Health (HGH), Rollins School of Public Health (RSPH), Emory University is seeking a post-doctoral fellow in chronic disease and global health. This position is a full-time, residential fellowship for a minimum of one year, with the possibility of continuation for additional years. The successful candidate will participate actively on externally funded research projects focusing on questions related to the measurement and dynamics of obesity and of multimorbidity over the lifecourse. Projects will involve harmonizing and bridging multiple large longitudinal datasets and conducting analyses therewith. The postdoc will contribute substantively to groundbreaking analyses, leading and co-authoring high impact manuscripts. The postdoc will have opportunities to participate in the intellectual life of the department and university, for example by attending seminars, giving guest lectures, and co-mentoring MPH students. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in demography, economics, epidemiology, biostatistics or relevant fields at the starting date. Excellent skills in quantitative research and writing are required, as well as demonstrated interest in and understanding of health over the lifecourse, chronic disease, and population health.

Applicants are sought to fill a post-doctoral position in the Emory National Primate Research Center at Emory University. The selected candidate will work in NIH-sponsored research for studies of Parkinson’s disease pathophysiology.  The focus of these studies is on striatal mechanisms of basal ganglia dysfunction underlying motor and cognitive deficits. Different manipulations are used in disease models to investigate cellular/circuit changes and explore therapeutic targets. Emory University offers a rich scientific environment with opportunities for multiple collegial interactions and collaborations to support and enhance post-doctoral studies. Candidates must hold a PhD, MD or equivalent degree, or being near graduation, and will be selected on the basis of strong background in electrophysiology and physiology data analyses including Matlab. In-vivo recordings applying optogenetics and pharmacological tools to analyze signaling mechanisms in animal models are a major part of studies. Additional qualifications include previous training in basal ganglia circuits and Parkinson’s disease research. Important technical skills include the preparation of animal models, implant surgeries, and brain injections of viral vectors.

The Hansen Lab studies the interactions between satellite cells and the vasculature. Satellite cells are skeletal muscle progenitor cells that are known to play an important role in muscle repair after injury and adaptation to exercise. However, our lab focuses on a previously underexplored role of satellite cells in vascular growth. We have found that satellite cells, when activated, produce a number of chemoattractant growth factors that drive the migration of vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells which are important in the growth and development of blood vessels. This area is of particular interest in the context of peripheral artery disease (PAD), where patients suffer from ischemic tissue damage but treatment options are still limited. The lab has shown that ischemia stimulates satellite cells and is exploring ways to harness their angiogenic properties in vivo or through therapeutically delivered cells. Current work in the lab is determining the effects of satellite cell growth factor production using in vitro assays as well as determining what factors are critical to these vascular effects. One major project explores the biology of satellite cells in response to exercise. We are utilizing a mouse model in which we can selectively ablate satellite cells. Additionally, we are exploring the changes in expression and heterogeneity of satellite cells after exercise in both our murine models and human patient biopsies using single cell sequencing. Our newest project is to optimize satellite cell delivery and further develop therapeutic strategies through new biomaterials.

We are a seeking postdoctoral fellow to join the laboratory of Dr. Tyler Beyett in the Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology at Emory University School of Medicine. The Beyett lab (https://med.emory.edu/departments/pharmacology-chemical-biology/labs/beyett-lab/index.html) uses structural and chemical biology to understand protein kinases and phosphatases in cancer and immunology. Postdocs will work on projects related to the discovery and development of kinase inhibitors or structure/function studies of protein complexes that regulate kinase signaling. Expertise in protein purification, cell culture, structural biology, molecular pharmacology, and/or medicinal chemistry is desirable. We are especially interested in individuals with experience in assay development/high-throughput screening or X-ray crystallography.
