4. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Watson Laboratory has just moved to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and are looking for new, motivated postdoctoral fellows. Our lab is interested in understanding how cellular metabolism controls innate immunity and inflammation. We leverage the notorious human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other intracellular pathogens, to study how mutations in mitochondrial genes and pathogen virulence factors alter macrophage metabolism and polarize immune responses.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
5. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Department of Sociology at Vanderbilt University seeks a talented, highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with expertise in social networks, singlehood, medical sociology, aging, and quantitative methods. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to the National Study of Older Never-Married Adults (NSONMA), which investigates social networks and health of older never-married adults. The successful candidate will work primarily with Dr. Lijun Song (PI) and collaborate with other investigators at Vanderbilt University, Boston University, and Indiana University Bloomington.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
6. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The specific problem we aim to solve is to make it easier for users of cloud computing to select the compute instance type (e.g., AWS EC2 instance type) that is best suited for a given workload they are trying to run. (There are many instance types available, spanning e.g. CPU and GPU instances, and more instance types frequently become available.) For instance, if a user has just run a particular Python script with an 8-GPU node, it is likely that if we encounter that same Python script again, the user is likely to want to use an 8-GPU node again. In another case, we may have a precompiled code (e.g., from a C++ codebase), and we want to use static/binary analysis to determine whether any parallelism or GPU code/libraries are included or linked; we could then determine whether to exclude GPU or many-core instances from consideration (this doesn’t necessarily require AI).

7. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Stress and Early Adversity Lab is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong interest in early life adversity and excellent quantitative, writing, and data management skills. The successful candidate will contribute to a range of research activities, including data cleaning, processing, and analysis, manuscript preparation, grant writing, and providing scientific oversight for ongoing studies in the lab. Responsibilities will also include supervising and mentoring more junior trainees by reviewing and editing/co-authoring their written products. This position is ideal for those aiming for a highly productive postdoctoral experience (publications, grants) as preparation for an independent academic research career.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
8. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A new postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Jennifer Herington at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which is focused on the discovery of novel therapeutics and the use of targeted drug delivery to inhibit uterine myometrial contractility for prevention of preterm labor. The available position is to conduct exciting studies that will advance at a rapid pace to characterize the performance of new drug delivery systems (DDSs) to suppress uterine contractions that lead to preterm birth. This is a collaborative project between an industrial partner that will fabricate drug conjugates for in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo testing in the laboratories of Drs. Herington and Todd Giorgio (Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University, whose laboratory specializes on developing and testing advanced DDSs).
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
9. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Siricilla laboratory is focused on identifying novel therapeutic agents to manage infection-induced preterm birth and protecting the fetus against in-utero inflammation. The approaches include a large-scale screening of a customized library of molecules targeting the druggable transcriptome associated with infection-induced inflammation leading to preterm birth. The studies utilize pharmacological and immunological assays, and our laboratory is equipped for high-throughput screening of molecules using an ex vivo fetal membrane explant-based assay, high-throughput combination synergy screening assay and pre-clinical in vivo testing in mouse models of preterm labor. Our laboratory uses human fetal membrane samples and mouse models of preterm labor.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
10. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A new postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Professor Todd Giorgio in the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Vanderbilt University (VU). This collaborative project will include the laboratory of Professor Jennifer Herington (models of preterm birth, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC)) and an industrial partner (fabrication of drug conjugates). We will conduct exciting studies that will advance at a rapid pace to characterize the performance of new materials and methods to suppress the uterine contractions that lead to preterm birth. The Giorgio laboratory is focused on interdisciplinary research that involves advanced functional materials applied to unmet medical needs in women’s health. (https://www.giorgiolab.org/).
