| Postdoctoral Research AssociateApplyD-22-MOL-00010 | Molecular Biology | ResearchEach of us harbor biological timers in our bodies known as the circadian clock. These clocks drive physiological processes and behaviors in coordination with the day-night cycle. Recent work has provided evidence that the circadian clock regulates immune functions in coordination with the day-night cycle. However, the underlying mechanisms by which the circadian clock drives rhythms in immunity are ill-defined. The Brooks lab seeks to mechanistically determine circadian clock regulation of innate immune functions at the intestinal epithelial barrier. Forming the first line of defense, the intestinal epithelium must acquire nutrients from the diet while maintaining harmony with a vast consortium of microorganisms known collectively as the microbiota. Endemic to the epithelium are specialized epithelial and immune cell types that produce antimicrobial proteins, bolster the epithelial barrier, and coordinate immune responses. These fundamental functions of innate immunity are regulated by the time of day. The Brooks lab is seeking a postdoctoral candidate or more senior researcher to characterize the impact of clocks across the intestinal epithelial barrier on host defense. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative group with strengths in cell biology, mouse genetics, and molecular biology. The P.I. is dedicated to providing a nurturing training environment with the acknowledgment that mentorship must be tailored to the individual. The ideal applicant will be highly motivated; have a Ph.D. degree; research experience in one or more of the following cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, genetics, immunology, and/or microbiology; Fluent in English language and writing skills.

This fundamental process begins in utero in parallel to organogenesis. Numerous epidemiological data suggested that maternal environmental exposure during pregnancy, particularly infection, can shape the offspring’s immunity in the long term. During this critical window, the mother also undergoes dramatic immunological changes to nurture and adapt to the semi-allograph fetus. The LIMmunity (Lab of Infant and Maternal Immunity) seeks to establish a mechanistic understanding of how maternal infection impacts offspring’s long-term tissue immunity, and reciprocally, how maternal immunity adapt to physiological changes during pregnancy and lactation. Two fully-funded postdoctoral or more senior research positions are available in the LIMmunity to study fundamental maternal-offspring immune crosstalk. The opportunities are ideal for a highly motivated scholar with a Ph.D. degree and research experience from, but not limited to, Immunology, Parasitology, Microbiology, Developmental Biology, Cell Biology, or related fields.

Graham, for an NSF-funded project in collaboration with Professor Clay Cressler of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Graham Group research interests include immune and parasite dynamics within hosts, parasite transmission between hosts, and, more generally, the evolutionary ecology of immunity, infection and disease. Members of the group collect data both in the lab and in the field, and frequently use mathematics to investigate processes that determine the strength and efficacy of immune responses. The Cressler Lab develops novel mathematical models that link within-host and between-host processes to understand the dynamics and evolution of infectious diseases. This project focuses on mouse-nematode-microbe interactions and is designed to test the hypothesis that feedback loops between induced immune responses and parasite growth ultimately determine the duration of nematode infection. Our preliminary mathematical modelling suggests that these feedbacks lead to immunological Allee effects, such that subtle differences in dose, initial T-helper cell bias, or induction rate can lead to either an acute infection that is rapidly cleared or else to chronic infection. The researcher will be primarily responsible for generating data to test these predictions, using dose-response and rewilding experiments with multiple readouts. Responsibilities will include: planning and execution of experiments, including sampling; development and execution of immunoassays; molecular and microscopic methods to identify and quantify symbionts; cell culture; optimization and use of flow cytometry; parameterization of mathematical models; and data analysis. The researcher will be encouraged to lead the intellectual development of the project according to their own vision and skillset, in consultation with the project team. Depending upon interests of the person recruited, duties may also include supervision of undergraduate projects; curation of sample collections; and participation in the Broader Impacts aspect of this project, which will use theatre to bring immunology to a wide public.

| Postdoctoral Research AssociateApplyD-23-PSM-00003 | Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials | Research | Posting Expires 10/13/2023 11:59 PM, EDTPolymer chain structural heterogeneities can play a major role in determining polymer dynamics and thermal stability (as bounded by the glass transition temperature (Tg) above which polymers lose dimensional stability), with the potential to enable rational control of transport and dynamic mechanical properties. While copolymerization and mixing have long been employed in tuning these properties, their usage has generally been prescribed and guided by classical Tg mixing rules that suggest a limitation to interpolating between the properties of existing polymers. Recent work suggests a new opportunity: copolymerization of monomers with particularly favorable or unfavorable interactions can lead to large deviations from these mixing rules, enabling alloyed copolymers with thermal envelopes far outside those of the homopolymers corresponding to their constituents. Moreover, sequence effects on Tg indicates the even more profound possibility of achieving large variations in Tg, transport, and mechanical properties at fixed composition and chemistry simply by varying sequence. This suggests the possibility of a transformational decoupling of chemical and physical properties in next generation polymers. This effort aims to understand these effects at a molecular level and establish next-generation design rules for sequence controlled copolymers with targeted Tg, transport, and mechanical properties. To do so, this effort will combine experiments probing local Tg and dynamics in copolymers with both atomistic and coarse-grained simulations providing molecular-level understanding of the relationship between monomer interactions and sequence, segmental packing, glassy mechanics, and dynamics and Tg. The project is a collaboration between the Priestley and Register groups at Princeton (experiments) and Simmons group at the University of South Florida (simulations). At Princeton, we seek a recent doctorate (chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or related field) with expertise in the synthesis of well-defined polymers by controlled/living polymerizations, and/or other air-sensitive syntheses (glove box, Schlenk line, or similar). Prior experience in macromolecular characterization (NMR, GPC), thermal analysis (DSC) or other physical property measurements (including fluorescence and dielectric spectroscopy) would be added plusses.

Scholars are required to be in residence in Princeton or the local vicinity. Fellows will devote an academic year to research, discussion, and scholarly collaboration on topics related to law and public affairs. Scholars will participate in a seminar for Law-Engaged Graduate Students (which involves some mentoring of JD/PhD students) and in activities organized by Law@Princeton. The rank is Visiting Research Scholar or Visiting Professional Specialist. Applicants must have a doctorate, juris doctor, or an equivalent professional degree at the time of submission. Appointments will be made by SPIA or UCHV. Scholars will affiliate with UCHV or a research center/program at SPIA. Applicants should indicate preferences in regard to affiliations and explain how they would benefit from and contribute to the mission of the center/program. A list of SPIA Centers/Programs can be found at https://spia.princeton.edu/faculty-research/centers-programs Priority will be given to candidates who are willing to teach one undergrad or grad course in SPIA or UCHV. This contribution may be fulfilled by teaching a course on a topic related to normative issues and law for UCHV, or law in public policy for SPIA. Princeton does not have a law school; the course should not be designed primarily for law students. Instead, it should fit a liberal arts undergraduate curriculum or a professional master’s in public policy curriculum. All courses are contingent upon approval of the Dean of the Faculty, sufficient enrollments, and required approvals. The selection committee looks closely at the research proposal. Successful applicants should demonstrate substantial expertise in law-related matters, but in explaining research projects, applicants would be well advised to write for an audience of academic generalists (not necessarily lawyers). We are particularly interested in potential scholars with interests in policy or in normative inquiry.
