Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AGAINST INFECTIOUS PATHOGENS
- Investigation of human monoclonal antibodies against blood-stage P. falciparum. This stage of the P. falciparum life cycle offers a wealth of potential antigenic targets, few of which have been studied in depth. This project aims to isolate potent antibodies against leading antigen candidates and identify new targets on the surface of blood-stage parasites. If a suitable antibody is identified, it can be tested for the ability to prevent malaria in a clinical trial in a malaria-endemic region through intramural collaborations.
- Investigation of the human antibody response to M. tuberculosis. While the role of T cells in immunity against M. tuberculosis has been well-established, evidence is building that antibodies also play a protective role in TB. However, the most relevant targets and mechanisms of antibody-mediated immunity remain elusive. This project aims to identify new potent antibodies and antigenic targets on the M. tuberculosis surface.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF CENTROSOMAL SELF-ASSEMBLIES BY X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, NMR, OR CRYO-EM
The architecture of a cell is established through varying degrees of hierarchical organizations from single molecules to macromolecular assemblies. Investigating how these molecules interact with one another to form a higher-order structural entity with a new biological function is a key step to unlocking the mystery of life. We are mainly interested in understanding the molecular bases of how the physicochemical properties of pericentriolar scaffold proteins drive the formation of micron-scale self-assemblies with distinct cellular functions. Recently, we found that human polo-like kinase 4, a key regulator of centriole duplication, forms a high M.W. complex with centrosomal scaffold proteins, which cooperatively self-assemble into a higher-order architecture around a centriole in a concentration-dependent manner. Notably, a failure in these events can result in abnormal centrosome numbers, improper spindle formation, and chromosome missegregation that ultimately lead to the development of various human diseases, including cancer, ciliopathy, and microcephaly.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: ENDOCRINOLOGY: ROLE OF GPCRS AND BETA-ARRESTINS IN TYPE 2 DIABETES AND OBESITY
A postdoctoral position is available to study the role of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)- and beta-arrestin-dependent signaling pathways in type 2 diabetes and obesity. The project involves the generation and analysis of new mouse models which express novel classes of designer GPCRs in a cell-type specific fashion (Wang L, et al. Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol 61:421-440, 2021). The use of these designer GPCRs makes it possible to activate distinct G protein- or beta-arrestin-dependent signaling pathways in a conditional and reversible fashion. Additional novel mouse models that lack distinct GPCRs or downstream signaling molecules including beta-arrestin-1 and -2 in a cell-type specific fashion will also be generated and analyzed (Pydi SP, et al. Trends Endocrinol Metab S1043-2760(20)30232-0. doi: 10.1016/j.tem.2020.11.008 (2020)).

A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Kai Ge’s lab at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), NIH, located in Washington DC area. We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to study epigenomic regulation of transcriptional enhancers. We use a combination of tools, including epigenomics, bioinformatics, live-cell imaging, proteomics, CRISPR gene editing and mouse genetics, to study how transcription factors, histone modifying enzymes and chromatin remodelers coordinate to regulate enhancer activation and cell type-specific gene induction in cell differentiation, tissue development and cell fate transition.
Deadline : July 04, 2021 or until filled.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: MOTOR PROTEIN FUNCTION IN CEREBELLAR PURKINJE NEURONS
A fully-funded postdoctoral position is available for a highly-motivated scientist who would like to use genetic, cell biological, and advanced imaging approaches to explore the functions of motor proteins in cerebellar Purkinje neurons, the master neuron of the cerebellum. We have developed techniques to culture and transfect these neurons (J. Neurosci. Meth. 2011), perform miRNA-mediated protein knockdown in them (Meth. Cell Biol. 2016), identify novel protein: protein interactions in them (Cytoskeleton, 2018), employ complementation to define structure-function relationships in them (Nat. Cell Biol. 2011 and unpublished), and generate them from stem cells (Cerebellum 2019).
Deadline : July 04, 2021 or until filled.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: MOTOR PROTEIN FUNCTION IN INTESTINAL ORGANOIDS
A fully-funded postdoctoral position is available for a highly-motivated scientist who would like to use genetic, cell biological, and advanced imaging approaches to define the roles played by actin-based motor proteins in epithelial barrier function and apoptotic cell extrusion using intestinal organoids as a model system. Intestinal organoids provide a very physiological context in which to study these phenomena as they retain normal epithelial organization, dynamics and polarity in the form of a three dimensional, regenerative, stem cell-driven tissue model. Moreover, they are amenable to detailed structure: function analyses using CRISPR-mediated gene editing, super-resolution microscopy, and other advanced tools. Organoids made from mouse knockouts for myosin 2C, myosin 18A, and myosin 10 with interesting preliminary phenotypes await further characterization. The lab and institute offer a fantastic, highly-collaborative training environment for budding young scientists, with cutting-edge resources, microscopes, and expertise, as well as rigorous mentoring and generous support for trainees.
Deadline : July 04, 2021 or until filled.
