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.

Our Laboratory seeks a motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to spearhead cutting-edge functional genomics in the field of early onset immune mediated disorders. Our lab applies systems-level analyses to gain mechanistic insights into human physiology, pathology and disease, and utilizes this knowledge to discover novel anti-inflammatory and immunotherapeutic approaches early onset immune mediated diseases. This is a superb opportunity for a sharp a scientist to spearhead ambitious projects exploring the immunogenetic mechanisms of these immune mediated diseases. We pursue diverse projects spanning both clinical and basic research, are highly collaborative, relying on both academic and industrial collaborations, and offer opportunities in developing projects. Opportunities exist to get trained in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics leading to board-eligibility in laboratory genetics through the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics. Additional goals will be to train an individual who is proficient in the interpretation of both clinical cytogenetic and molecular genetic testing relevant to the diagnosis and management of human genetic disease at the end of the training. Upon completion of this post-doctoral fellowship, the individual will have knowledge of relevant management and counseling issues regarding a wide range of genetic disorders and be capable of communicating information to other medical professionals, and to the individual or family.

The CCRSJ, in association with the Emory University School of Law, is pleased to fund one Postdoctoral Fellow, for up to a two-year term, beginning in either Fall 2023 or Spring 2024.  The associate will work under the guidance and supervision of center directors (Darren Hutchinson, Faculty Director and Alicia Hughes, Interim Director) and a center affiliate faculty member with a focus in health inequality.  The position is designed to allow an aspiring academic with an interdisciplinary focus the opportunity to gain research, writing, and teaching experience, potentially, in order to prepare for an academic career.  We prioritize hiring a scholar who will contribute to diversity in the legal academy, and whose research focuses on issues related to health disparities, including the social determinants of health, systemic racism and poverty as barriers to health equity, and disparate treatment of patients by health services providers along traditional and newer axes of disadvantage. The position includes office space, library research support, an annual travel budget, and student fellow research assistance.  CCRSJ Postdoctoral Fellow will have an opportunity to present their research to Emory University faculty, design a research-related program, visit classes of CCRSJ affiliate faculty members, and participate in center activities. The primary responsibilities will include managing relationships and communications with CCRSJ partners in health-related fields; providing research support across the lifecycle of defined projects (e.g., drafting interview guides, testing interview guides, coding and analyzing transcripts); conducting literature reviews; creating tables and figures based on quantitative output; supporting manuscript writing and preparation of presentations; and other related activities, as needed and desired. There will also be dedicated time to support professional development.

Postdoctoral opening starting September 1st 2023 in the Shanmugam laboratory at the Winship Cancer Institute, Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology. Seeking trainees interested in investigating how cellular metabolism regulates therapy sensitivity and resistance mechanisms, the evasion of apoptosis and immune surveillance in the hematologic malignancy, multiple myeloma. We have a second area of interest investigating metabolism-driven signaling promoting lung adenocarcinoma invasion. Candidates should be independent and highly motivated with a strong molecular, cellular and biochemistry background. Our mechanistic and highly translational studies rely in part on the use of high throughput screening platforms complemented by inquiry of underlying mechanisms. Candidates must have a PhD, peer reviewed first author publication history and excellent verbal and written communication skills. Interested applicants should submit their CV, a brief statement detailing their research experience, skills, and postdoctoral goals. Please provide contact information (email address and phone number) for three references to: Dr. Mala Shanmugam, [email protected].

The Searles lab is broadly focused on posttranscriptional mechanisms responsible for regulation of vascular gene expression and development of cardiovascular disease. We are looking for a post doctoral trainee to work on a project that will investigate human blood transcriptomics as an applied genomics approach to enhance clinical investigations. This project is part of a collaboration between Emory, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Georgia Tech that is focused on enhancing training in translational genomics. Candidates should have experience working with blood samples, RNA isolation techniques, and analysis RNA sequencing data. Preference will also be given to candidates who have had training in computational analysis of omics data.
