1. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral associate in the Dr. Srinivasan lab to work in the area of neural the gut-brain axis and neuroendocrine biology of lipid metabolism. It is now well-established that communication between the brain and the gut, the so-called gut-brain axis, regulates important aspects of behavior and metabolism in many species. However, the salient mechanisms and molecular features of gut-brain communication remain mysterious. In our lab, we utilize C. elegans as a model system for our discovery studies of gut-brain communication, in which we utilize cutting-edge technologies to measure dynamic neural and metabolic activity in living animals. Such cell-based readouts are coupled with changes in behavior and metabolism, to uncover novel pathways all the way from molecules to whole-animal biology.

3. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Lippi lab at Scripps Research seeks a Postdoctoral Associate as part of a growing team of investigators studying how a class of non-coding RNAs, called microRNAs, instructs brain development. We have developed molecular tools to map and manipulate microRNA-target interactions in specific cell types of the brain. We are now recruiting researchers that want to apply these tools to understand microRNAs mechanisms establishing neuronal identity and wiring neural circuits. Collectively, our work spans multiple disciplines, including tool development, molecular, cellular and system neuroscience.

5. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Dr. Jiang Zhu’s laboratory at Scripps Research is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a background in B cell immunology to contribute to rational vaccine development for diverse viral pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, HIV-1, influenza, and Ebola. The person filling this position is expected to play an important intellectual, technical, and scientific role in projects including, but not limited to, single-cell sorting, immunoprofiling, and next generation sequencing (NGS) of B cells elicited by experimental vaccines being developed in our laboratory.

6. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Dr. Lotz lab at Scripps Research is looking for a highly motivated individual with strong background and technical expertise in cell and molecular biology and bioinformatics for our program on transcription factors in joint biology and arthritis pathogenesis. In a newly funded program about mechanisms of joint tissue destruction and joint pain, we are using Omics technologies (RNA-seq, single cell-RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, epigenetic analyses, spatial transcriptomics) to identify dysregulated transcription factors and test candidate genes in vitro and using mutant mouse strains. Genes that are identified to be essential regulators of homeostatic processes or to promote arthritis pathogenesis are tested in viral gene delivery approaches and used in drug screening assays.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled

7. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are looking for talented, highly motivated post-doctoral candidates with a strong interest in basic virology and immunology. The successful candidate will join a team investigating mechanisms of virus-host interactions, with a focus on identifying cellular antiviral responses and molecular signatures linked to severe disease. These studies will utilize systems biology, including large-scale technologies (CRISPR/RNAi, proteomics/ chemoproteomics, chemical biology, NextGen Sequencing, etc.), as well as fundamental virology and more traditional cellular/molecular biology and biochemistry-based approaches.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
8. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Department of Neuroscience at Scripps Research has open Postdoctoral Associate positions in the new, well-funded lab of Dr. Chen Ran. We are interested in understanding, on the cellular, circuit, and systems levels, the neural basis of interoception, i.e., how the brain receives signals from the visceral organs within the body to generate our internal senses. Combining state-of-the-art in vivo functional imaging, electrophysiological recordings, mouse genetics, neuronal activity manipulation, animal behavior, and computational approaches, our lab seeks to unravel how the nervous system detects mechanical, chemical, and thermal stimuli from the periphery to synthesize our internal sensations, including satiety, hunger, nausea, hypoxia, and visceral pain.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
9. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A Postdoctoral Associate position is available in the group of Drs. Stuart Lipton and Tomo Nakamura in the Neurodegeneration New Medicines Center and the Department of Molecular Medicine at The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California. The selected candidate will plan and conduct novel research projects that involve a significant amount of cell culture, including human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), as well as molecular biology approaches.
