| University of Maryland, Baltimore | Neuroscience | Neurobiology | Emily A. Aery Jones | 04/30/2027 | The Lab: The Aery Jones lab is recruiting a postdoc to join our new and growing team. The lab launched in January 2026 and is currently a team of three (PI, technician, postdoc). Our research seeks to answer three questions: 1. How can the hippocampal circuit perform multiple distinct computations (encoding, retrieval, and consolidation) without them interfering with each other? 2. How is the separation of these computations disrupted by neurodegeneration? 3. What are the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegeneration that impair this separation? Our research dissects how the gating of inputs to the hippocampus adapts over learning and is altered in aging and Alzheimer’s disease, affecting flexibility and stability of spatial representations and therefore memory, with the goal of identifying novel therapies for neurodegeneration. To this end, we chronically implant Neuropixels electrodes into the hippocampus and related regions in mice. These mice then learn various spatial tasks, including foraging, goal-directed navigation, and cricket hunting. We examine how populations of neurons fire in response to behaviorally-relevant information, like target position, head direction, and task phase; how this changes over learning, context, and time; and how these neural representations are disrupted in aging and Alzheimer's disease. We furthermore test how circuit manipulations, either directly via closed-loop optogenetics or indirectly via druggable targets, can affect the function of this circuit. Responsibilities: - Pursue your own research projects aligned with the lab's research interests - Apply for fellowship funding - Can expand beyond these interests if you've obtain your own funding Qualifications: Required: - PhD in neuroscience, biology, engineering, or related field (already earned or anticipated within the next year) - At least 1 first-author paper or preprint from your thesis work (or anticipated prior to graduation) - Prior experience with in vivo or ex vivo neural recordings of some kind (any technique, any animal model) - Enthusiastic about the lab's research topics and the prospect of joining a new lab - Detail-oriented, organized, and excels at planning and project management - Agrees to uphold the lab's philosophy (https://aeryjoneslab.github.io/philosophy/) Bonus Points: - History of fellowship applications, ideally successful - Prior experience with our experimental techniques: in vivo freely moving electrophysiological recordings in rodents, hippocampal physiology, and/or optogenetics, aging and/or Alzheimer's disease models and behaviors - Prior experience with our analytical techniques: single unit analysis, local field potential analysis, unsupervised behavioral quantification, machine learning algorithms for neural data statistics - Fluent in Python |

| Pennsylvania State University | Root Biology and Rhizosphere Interactions | Plant Science | Francisco Dini Andreote | 06/26/2026 | Postdoctoral Scholar in microbe interactions POSITION SPECIFICS The Dini-Andreote Lab at Penn State is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar. The successful candidate will contribute to a USDA-funded project aimed at developing microbiome-informed strategies for the control of soilborne pathogens in agricultural systems. The complexity of soilborne disease suppression requires integrative approaches that span controlled experimentation, high-resolution molecular characterization, and computational analysis of microbial communities. The postdoctoral researcher will lead the design and implementation of experiments examining plant-soil-microbiome interactions under pathogen pressure, including the use of synthetic microbial communities, microbiome manipulation strategies, and stress-interaction frameworks. Specific responsibilities include: (i) developing and executing greenhouse and growth chamber experiments to evaluate microbiome-mediated suppression of soilborne pathogens; (ii) conducting molecular and bioinformatic analyses (e.g., amplicon and metagenomic sequencing) to identify microbial taxa and functions associated with disease suppression; (iii) integrating microbiome data with plant phenotypic and environmental variables to identify predictive indicators of pathogen control; and (iv) contributing to the development of mechanistic and translational frameworks that support the deployment of microbially based interventions in agricultural systems. The postdoctoral researcher will also play a critical role in ensuring data quality, reproducibility, and integration across experimental platforms, as well as contributing to manuscript preparation, stakeholder communication, and extension-oriented outputs. Given the interdisciplinary and data-intensive nature of the project, this position is essential for bridging experimental microbiology, ecological theory, and applied disease management, thereby enabling the development of scalable and actionable solutions for the sustainable control of soilborne pathogens. Qualifications and Requirements Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in molecular microbiology, ecology, plant pathology, or a closely related field, with demonstrated expertise in plant-microbe interactions, soil microbiome analysis, and quantitative data integration. The appointee must provide evidence of completion of all doctoral requirements prior to the effective date of hire. The postdoctoral scholar will have opportunities to mentor graduate and undergraduate students and will receive guidance in developing research proposals and publications. To apply, please submit an online application, a CV, and contact information for three references. The position will be based at Penn State University, University Park, Pennsylvania. BACKGROUND CHECKS/CLEARANCES Employment with the University will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies.
