| University of Iowa | Computational cognitive affective neuroscience | Psychological and Brain Sciences | Debbie Yee | 05/15/2026 | The Computational Affective Motivational Psychiatry (CAMP) Lab in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Iowa (Director: Dr. Debbie Yee) is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Scholar to contribute to our research on the neural and computational mechanisms of motivation, affect, and cognitive control — and how disruptions in these processes underlie psychiatric disorders. We use a multimodal approach combining fMRI, pharmacological manipulations, computational modeling, and neuromodulation to address these questions in both healthy adults across the developmental lifespan and clinical populations. This position is ideal for researchers with a strong background in computational cognitive neuroscience, affective neuroscience, computational psychiatry, or a closely related field. The postdoctoral scholar will lead and contribute to original research projects, mentor junior lab members, assist with grant preparation, and disseminate findings through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. The successful candidate will work in a highly collaborative and intellectually stimulating environment with access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure, including dedicated 3T and 7T MRI systems. This is a full-time, benefits-eligible position with an initial appointment of one year, renewable annually based on performance and available funding. For more information about the lab, visit: yeelabneuro.github.io. Work authorization sponsorship is available in J-1 status. RESEARCH AREAS The postdoctoral scholar may contribute to one or more of the following active research programs in the areas of 1) Motivation, Affect, and Cognitive Control Across the Lifespan, 2) Stress, Pharmacology, and Neuromodulation, and 3) Computational Psychiatry and Digital Mental Health. Our research team leverages task-based functional MRI, computational cognitive modeling, pharmacology, physiological measures, and digital mental health techniques to investigate the neural circuits and computations that underlie how motivational and affective processes (e.g., stress) impact decision-making and mental effort allocation in humans — and how disruptions in these processes give rise to psychiatric and neurological disorders. RESPONSIBILITIES * Lead and conduct original research projects in collaboration with the PI and lab members. * Design, implement, and analyze behavioral and neuroimaging (fMRI) experiments. * Develop and apply computational models (e.g., reinforcement learning, drift-diffusion, Bayesian methods) to behavioral and neural data. * Assist with pharmacological and neuromodulation study protocols. * Prepare and submit manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication. * Contribute to grant writing and research proposals. * Present research findings at national and international conferences. * Mentor postbaccalaureate interns, graduate students, and research assistants. * Participate in lab meetings and contribute to the broader scientific community. |

| Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey | Systems Neuroscience, Motor Circuits, Holography | Neuroscience and Cell Biology | Ian Oldenburg | 03/01/2027 | The Oldenburg Laboratory at Rutgers University is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join an exciting neuroscience project utilizing advanced optical tools to study neural circuits underlying movement. The Oldenburg lab uses and develops multiphoton holographic optogenetics combined with two photon calcium imaging to study how groups of neurons in the motor cortex work together to enact actions. By using our novel techniques, we can causally test different theories of how neural population codes drive behavior. Holographic optogenetics allows us to directly activate individual and user specified groups of neurons in the field of view of a 2P microscope with better spatial and temporal resolution than ever before. We use this novel technology to answer previously intractable, but fundamental, questions about neural coding. This work is highly interdisciplinary, so many diverse skill sets are useful. Previous experience with 2-photon imaging, electrophysiology, optical engineering, computational neuroscience, and/or animal behavior will benefit this position. Strong technical and analytical skills are preferred.

| Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey | Developmental and Cancer BIology | Waksman Institute | Kenneth Irvine | 07/31/2026 | Our research investigates molecular mechanisms through which mechanical forces are regulated and perceived, how biochemical and biomechanical signals are integrated, and how they act together to modulate growth and shape during developmental, physiological, and pathological processes. We would especially like to add a post-doctoral associate to our team investigating mechanisms of Hippo pathway regulation during development and in cancer. Planned investigations will build on our discovery of a process that links cytoskeletal tension at adherens junctions to regulation of Hippo signaling and tissue growth. This occurs through tension-dependent recruitment of an Ajuba family LIM protein (Jub in Drosophila, LIMD1 in mammals) to -catenin. Jub then recruits and inhibits the key Hippo pathway kinase, Warts, which leads to increased activity of the Hippo pathway transcription factor Yorkie (Yki). We are investigating molecular mechanisms mediating this regulation, extending our recent discovery of recruitment of Warts into phase-separated biocondensates with Jub and of a Jub-promoted phosphorylation of the Warts N-terminus. Our research will identify additional kinases that regulate Warts/LATS, and test hypotheses regarding how these activities contribute to inhibition of Warts and their relevance to regenerative and oncogenic stimuli that activate Yki and its mammalian homologues. Our research employs multiple, complementary techniques, including genetic analysis, imaging, cell culture, genomics, and biochemistry. We collaborate with other labs both at Rutgers and at other universities. Anticipated start date: Sept 1, 2026 Anticipated funding: Cancer Metabolism and Tumor Host Interactions T32 Training Grant - 1T32CA257957 |
