4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This project is focused on the development of techniques for visually analyzing field-based data, in particular large-scale data that can be compactly represented by coordinate-based neural networks. The goal of the project is to develop processing methods for neural fields, methods that operate directly on the neural representation rather than sampled representations. Research topics consist of: comparison/alignment of neural fields, extracting statistical summaries, contouring/integrating neural fields, topology-based feature extraction, and generative model surrogates of simulations using neural fields.

5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A postdoctoral fellow position is now available in a NIH-funded laboratory at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Research from this laboratory is focused on understanding the mutualistic relationship between gut microbiota and the host with implications for normal gastrointestinal development and response to injury and/or inflammation. Research for this position will make a novel direction to elucidate the mechanisms by which human milk oligosaccharides regulate gut microbial homeostasis and intestinal epithelial integrity in adulthood and apply this knowledge to develop therapies for prevention and treatment of intestinal inflammatory diseases.
