Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: A postdoctoral fellow position in classical- and quantum-enhanced imaging at Indiana University Bloomington
A postdoctoral fellow position is now available at the Department of Physics and/or jointly at the Department of Intelligent Systems Engineering, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, U.S.A. This project uses spatial, temporal, wavefront, and polarization-structured light beams to mimic quantum imaging properties for biological applications. The project aims to conduct proof-of-concept experiments of enhanced imaging performance using optical coherence tomography (OCT) as the bioimaging modality. The overarching goal is to show that the new approaches could overcome and outperform existing OCT disadvantages, either for those based on classical supercontinuum light sources or single-photon quantum light sources. This experimental research will involve designing, developing, constructing, and characterizing several types of structured light, generating beams with entangled degrees-of-freedoms (dubbed classical entanglement of light or mode-entanglement). Then, these visible and near-infrared beams will be used to test the Mach–Zehnder interferometry-like OCT imaging setup. Some simulations will be accompanied to verify and guide the experiments. In this exciting role, you will work under the direction of Prof. Chen-Ting Liao (physics) and Prof. Hui Min Leung (engineering).

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Fellow in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
We are seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position in the laboratory of Dr. Jaeyeon Kim, an associate professor, in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM-Indianapolis) and IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Dr. Kim studies the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of ovarian and breast cancer with genetically engineered mouse models and human specimens. The current research focus is to elucidate a conundrum surrounding high cancer risks and distinct cancer susceptibility among BRCA1 carriers. Despite the fact that every cell in their body has a harmful BRCA1 mutation, these women are predisposed particularly to ovarian and breast cancers. It remains a mystery. A seminal study (PNAS 2020; PMID: 33262282) from his lab points to the ovarian hormone progesterone as the culprit for BRCA1 carriers’ distinctive susceptibility to ovarian and breast cancer. Integrating this novel insight and unique Brca1 mouse models, his lab is seeking to decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying the progesterone regulation of ovarian and breast cancer development in BRCA1 carriers—with an emphasis on DNA damage/repair, cell-cycle checkpoint regulation, and immune modulation. This innovative, high-impact research will not only reveal a basic molecular mechanism of cancer susceptibility with BRCA1 mutations, but this knowledge will also offer an innovative strategy for the effective nonsurgical prevention and control of these formidable cancers wreaking havoc on women.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Fellow in Pathology & Laboratory Medicine (Neurodegenerative Diseases)
The Dementia Laboratory’s focus is on the molecular neuropathology of neurodegenerative diseases. Our aims are to expand our knowledge of the mechanisms of neurodegeneration. Neurodegenerative diseases may first affect language, cognition, motor systems, and emotions. It is necessary to identify the anatomical areas and systems primarily affected. Specifically, we strive to understand the earliest stages of intracellular alterations in the anatomical areas whose function appears to be involved in the earliest clinical symptoms. From there, we follow the progression and spread of the neurodegenerative process to anatomical areas that are synaptically connected to the regions primarily affected. Our efforts help to clarify the architecture of the neurodegenerative process. Neuropathology, biochemistry and molecular genetics aid in elucidating the stages of neurodegeneration in individual anatomical areas through the analysis of diseases studied postmortem on individuals who were at different stages of the disease process at the time of their passing.
The Dementia Laboratory consists of faculty, staff and students focused on expanding the knowledge on neurodegeneration and the associated misfoled proteins. It provides an environment for a multidisciplinary approach to the study of neurodegenerative dementias. The Dementia Laboratory’s Brain Library contains specimens from well over 2500 individuals collected over the past 45 years offering a unique opportunity to study a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases occurring in a variety of ages, sexes, and racial and ethnic groups.
