Postdoctoral Fellow (Postdoc) | early Earth environment; exoplanet life | Bacteriology | Betül Kaçar, UW-Madison; Rika Anderson, Carleton College | 09/01/2023 | NPP Postdoc Opportunity Join the VPL and MUSE ICAR teams in their pursuit of groundbreaking research on the early Earth environment and alternative evolutionary scenarios for microbial metabolisms and enzymes. We invite proposals for NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) projects that will establish connections between the ICAR teams, driving the exploration of life beyond our planet. The overarching objective of the interdisciplinary VPL ICAR (part of the NExSS RCN) is to propel NASA's quest for exoplanet life by addressing the fundamental question: "How can we effectively assess the presence of life on an exoplanet?" Meanwhile, the MUSE ICAR (part of the LIFE RCN) focuses on understanding the natural selection of chemical elements during the coevolution of life and the environment on the early Earth. As part of the newly funded VPL ICAR, Dr. Rika Anderson (Carleton College) and Dr. Betül Kaçar (UW - Madison Department of Bacteriology) are collaborating to identify enzymes associated with the production or consumption of volatile species which could become detectable biosignatures. We are particularly interested in metalloenzymes, which generate and process a diverse range of potential biosignature gases, including CH4, N2O, CO, NH3, organic sulfur compounds, and methylated halogens. To investigate the emergence and dissemination of these microbial metabolisms, we will employ bioinformatics and phylogenetics approaches. We welcome NPP proposals that build upon the work proposed by the VPL ICAR, specifically forging explicit links between the VPL and MUSE ICAR teams. While Dr. Anderson will serve as the primary advisor, the postdoctoral researcher will work closely with both Drs. Anderson and Kaçar, as well as the rest of the VPL and MUSE teams. Moreover, the postdoc will have the autonomy to shape and conduct their own research projects. There is flexibility to work on-site at Carleton or UW-Madison or to work remotely. |
Those who are interested in writing a proposal should contact Dr. Anderson (randerson@carleton.edu) and Dr. Kaçar (bkacar@wisc.edu) directly by September 1.

The ideal candidate will also like working in a team and contributing to the group environment. PhD in a biological subject (or equivalent evidence of expertise in biology, such as previous postdoctoral training) required. Expertise in mouse work, bioinformatics, immunology, or virology a plus, but not required. Salary and position level will be commensurate with experience. |
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to carry out independent research in virology and virus-host interactions in the Gaglia laboratory. Multiple potential projects are available, and we welcome candidates to bring their own ideas. In addition to the research itself, the fellow will have the opportunity to gain experience and develop skills needed to run an independent group in academia or industry. This will include writing papers, fellowship application, and grants, mentoring junior researchers in the laboratory, and presenting their work orally at conferences and workshops. Science in the Gaglia lab: Our goal is to link the molecular events during viral infection and the molecular function of viral proteins to modulation of viral disease severity. We are fascinated by how viruses rely on a small number of proteins to redirect host pathways and cause large changes in the physiology of cells and organisms. We are particularly interested in how virus-cell interactions modulate anti-viral innate immune responses, as innate immune responses have a crucial and dualistic role on outcome of infection. They can act as a barrier for the virus, reducing viral replication and disease. However, they can also become pathogenic, especially if they are hyper-activated or misdirected. We work on these molecular puzzles using a range of molecular and cellular biology techniques and are now moving into animal studies. For more information on recent and current work, please refer to the lab website (gaglialab.mmi.wisc.edu) and check out our recent manuscripts in Biorvix (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.07.08.499385v2) and mBio (https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/mbio.02446-22). Gaglia lab values: We are a growing and highly collaborative team. We strive to provide a supportive and fun environment in which to carry out research that makes meaningful contributions to our fundamental understanding of infectious agents. We are committed to personal and professional growth - learning new concepts and techniques, growing skills in science communication, and developing a sustainable work-life balance.

These birth defects are thought to result from complex gene-environment interaction, but limited understanding of specific factors and mechanisms of interaction has stymied development of prevention strategies. We recently discovered that DNA methylation is necessary for orofacial development and that disruption of this environmentally malleable epigenetic mechanism in multipotent cranial neural crest stem cells causes orofacial clefts. Leveraging this discovery, our newly NIH-funded project integrates clinically relevant mouse models with multi-omics approaches to define how DNA methylation regulates orofacial morphogenesis and influences orofacial clefting risk. This project is directed at advancing the development of targeted birth defect prevention strategies by defining environmental- and dietary-induced methylome-transcriptome responses that modulate cleft susceptibility. | Interested candidates should send a CV and brief statement of research interests to: Robert Lipinski Associate Professor Comparative Biosciences University of Wisconsin (608) 265-4043 robert.lipinski@wisc.edu |

We believe a diverse, inclusive and equitable lab is the best way to do science, and our actions try to match this belief. Applications are particularly welcome those who can contribute to such an environment. | Funded postdoc position studying virus:host interactions and replication dynamics in the Mehle Lab. The Mehle lab at the University of Wisconsin–Madison is looking for a highly motivated postdoc to study the influenza viral replication machinery and the host factors that regulate expression of viral genes and replication of the viral genome. We seek a new lab member to maintain our diverse and supportive environment. Influenza virus exploits and subverts host processes while at the same time evading cellular antiviral responses. The balance between these pro- and antiviral forces influences the outcome of a viral infection and pathogenicity to the host. The Mehle Lab studies this battle with a focus on the viral replication machinery. We have three major themes that address the gaps in our knowledge about the virus:host interface - 1) define how influenza virus engages, and even exploits, antiviral responses to support viral replication 2) determine how RNA:protein interactions impact translation of viral messages 3) investigate the population dynamics of influenza virus as it replicates and moves within and between infected hosts (collaboration with the Friedrich lab). We couple classic molecular virology with the newest approaches in genetic screening, genomics, and proteomics (e.g. we currently dissect influenza virus replication using multiple CRISPR-based techniques, CLIP-Seq, RiboSeq, quantitative proteomics, bioinformatics, and rely on the creativity of lab members to bring new techniques and ideas to the project).

A major goal is to understand how the metabolic pathways distributed among different species in a microbial community combine to produce secondary bile acid transformation profiles at the community-level as a function of time. In addition, we will investigate the impact of secondary bile acids on the growth of human gut species. We will study the communities and their functions both in vitro and in the mammalian gut environment. | Please send a cover letter describing your interest in the position and a CV to biochem_hr@g-groups.wisc.edu. | $54,840 | 100 | Kallee Schneider | biochem_hr@g-groups.wisc.edu | Expired | 09/12/2022 | 1503 | |||
Research Associate (Postdoc) | Cognitive Psychology | Psychology | C. Shawn Green | 12/01/2022 | Post-Doctoral Position to Research Factors That Influence Cognitive Training Outcomes at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, UC Riverside and UC Irvine. C. Shawn Green (UW-Madison), Aaron Seitz (UC-Riverside) and Susanne Jaeggi (UC-Irvine) are seeking to hire a post-doctoral researcher to work on a project funded by the National Institute on Aging. The project is focused on investigating features of cognitive training that differentially lead to learning and transfer of learning in both young adults (college-aged individuals) as well as in older adults. Successful candidates should have strong technical skills, including in data analysis (R preferred), management skills, creativity and a high-level of conscientiousness, as these are required to play a lead role in this sizable project. They should also have expertise in one or more of the following areas (and knowledge of the others): working memory, cognitive training, perceptual learning, and methods of assessing individual differences and effects of interventional studies. Experience in programming psychophysical experiments, in either MATLAB or Python, is preferred. Researchers must possess a doctoral degree in Psychology, Education, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, or a related field. The ideal starting time for the position would be during the Fall of 2022. However, we will also consider possible start times through the first few months of 2023. Thus, individuals planning to complete their dissertation during Fall 2022 are encouraged to apply. Review of materials will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. | The post-doctoral researcher is expected to take a lead role in the funded cognitive training project, including setting up experiments, collecting and analyzing data, training and supervision of graduate students and undergraduate research assistants, and dissemination of results at conferences and in research publications. The primary appointment will be at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Learning and Transfer Lab of C. Shawn Green (https://greenlab.psych.wisc.edu/). The lab's broad focus is to examine factors that alter the rate and generality of learning in both the perceptual and cognitive domains. The University of Wisconsin offers excellent benefits. Salary is based on research experience. The initial appointment is for 1 year with a possibility of extension. Furthermore, although the postdoc's primary location will be at UW-Madison, the postdoc will also spend time on the UCR and UCI campuses and work closely with both Seitz and Jaeggi to insure that procedures are coordinated between all three sites and that all personnel are properly trained and supervised. At UCR (Seitz), the project will fall under the purview of the Brain Game Center, whose mission is to research, test, and disseminate evidence-based, scientifically optimized brain fitness games that transfer benefits to real-life activities. The Center has recently moved into a 3000 square foot facility that provides an ideal environment for the proposed work with a staff of full time research coordinators, full time programmers and a team of postdocs, graduate students, and an army of research assistants that facilitates the development, testing and dissemination of brain training games and cognitive assessment tools. The Brain Game Center is the only university-based research center focused on research of brain training games, and it has a track record of making tested procedures publically available so that people can try them out for themselves. At UCI (Jaeggi), the project will fall under the purview of the Working Memory and Plasticity Lab (http://wmp.education.uci.edu) whose mission lies in the development of working memory interventions for populations across the lifespan, with the aim to understand the underlying cognitive and neural mechanisms that drive training-related changes using behavioral and neuroimaging methods, as well as transcranial electrical stimulation. The WMP lab currently employs 3 full-time research coordinators, as well as a team of undergraduate research assistants, and graduate students and post-docs from both the School of Education and the Department of Cognitive Sciences, and there is a host of ongoing national and international research collaborations providing opportunities for networking and intellectual exchange. | Candidates should send a cover letter, CV, relevant publications, and the names of three references with phone numbers and email addresses to: C.
