2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A Postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Prof. Swathi Yadlapalli at the University of Michigan (swathi@umich.edu). We study molecular and cellular mechanisms that control circadian rhythms and sleep using Drosophila and mammalian model systems. The goal of the lab is to understand the cell biology of circadian clocks which remains the least understood aspect of clocks by investigating the role of: 1) clock protein condensates, 2) chromatin organization, and 3) clock mRNA localization on circadian rhythms. Our group employs an array of techniques, that includes high-resolution live imaging, genetic, high-throughput genomics, proteomics, and quantitative behavioral assays to achieve a mechanistic understanding of how circadian clocks are organized and regulated inside a living cell.

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fellow candidates to join the laboratory of Brett McCray, MD, PhD, at the University of Michigan to lead studies elucidating mechanisms of hereditary neuromuscular disease. Our primary focus is on diseases caused by mutations in the ion channel TRPV4, which result in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2C and related forms of spinal muscular atrophy. In collaboration with Dr. McCray and other members of the laboratory, the fellow will contribute to the design, management, coordination, and implementation of in vitro and in vivo studies focused on defining mechanisms of disease pathogenesis. Specific potential pathogenic mechanisms to explore include the role of TRPV4 in regulating actin cytoskeletal dynamics and the integrity of blood-brain barriers.

6. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Carbon capture and utilization via conversion to products, such as aggregates, concrete, and plastics provides opportunities to durably remove CO2 from the atmosphere and water. Work conducted by the Global CO2 Initiative has shown that the magnitude of such opportunities can reach levels that have climatologically significant positive impacts. However, the background literature on respective research and technologies shows that firm projections for key parameters such as cost, utilization of CO2 tonnage, operational environments, and other key parameters are difficult due to a wide range of data.
