Under the direction of a Principal Investigator, further develops and expands understanding of scientific theory in his/her area of interest. Incumbent also learns and applies scientific laboratory techniques and gains experience in other areas of research that will lead to increased probability of success as an independent scientist. This is a training position with an expected duration of 1 – 3 years. The Doerfler Lab is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join a research program focused on the molecular regulation of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in sickle cell disease (SCD). The lab integrates functional genomics, single-cell multi-omics, and genome engineering to study how regulatory elements at the β-globin locus control γ-globin expression and its variability across erythroid cells....

Performs laboratory assays and complex experiments to elucidate novel research questions. The Ma Lab studies integrin signaling in blood cells. Integrin family receptors deliver bidirectional signaling (inside-out and outside-in) across the cell plasma membrane, modulating cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and other functions. Integrin signaling involves a series of molecular events within cells that enable integrins to bridge the crosstalk between the extracellular milieu and cytoskeletal changes, as well as cytoplasmic signaling cascades. Integrin activation is tightly regulated by integrin cytoplasmic tail binding proteins (ICBPs). The interaction between integrins and ICBPs defines the activation states and functional activities of integrins. Dysfunction of...

Develops and elucidates scientific aims, experimental design and execution. A Research Scientist I is equivalent to the Research Assistant Professor position at many universities. The Zhu Lab is primarily focused on unraveling the mechanisms of receptor transmembrane signaling. Specifically, our attention is directed towards cell surface receptors featuring single transmembrane domains, such as integrins, receptor tyrosine kinases, and receptor-like tyrosine phosphatases. Through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing structural biology, protein engineering, biochemistry, and cell biology techniques, we aim to elucidate how these receptors transmit signals across the cell membrane. Our investigations center on understanding the conformational regulation triggered by ligand binding...

Incumbent also learns and applies scientific laboratory techniques and gains experience in other areas of research that will lead to increased probability of success as an independent scientist. This is a training position with an expected duration of 1 – 3 years. At the crossroads of metabolism, immunity, and aging The Xian lab’s long-term goal is to enhance immune therapies by uncovering how mitochondrial stress activates the immune system. We focus on how mitochondria-released danger signals—known as danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)—shape immunity. In particular, we study circulating oxidized mitochondrial DNA (Ox-mtDNA),...
