Our goals are two-fold: 1) better understand how nuclear receptors function in immunity, and 2) develop and characterize small molecule ligands that modulate nuclear receptor function to determine their therapeutic value. We joined the University of Florida, one of the nation’s top five public universities, in April 2022. The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute advances human health through biomedical research, drug discovery and clinical studies, while providing outstanding educational opportunities to inspire and train the next generation of scientists. In addition, the Skaggs Graduate School of Chemical and Biological Sciences at Scripps Research trains the next generation of scientists on our campus through its nationally recognized Ph.D. program in biomedical sciences.

The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering at the University of Florida is seeking a highly motivated candidate for a Postdoctoral Researcher: Developing game-theoretic planning algorithms for multi-robot interactions in dynamic environments. The project is sponsored by Army Research Laboratory. It is to develop fundamental reinforcement learning and game-theoretic planning algorithms for a multi-robot/human-robot team in a dynamic, uncertain environment. The research topic will investigate the asymmetric information between multiple players and develop fundamental solution concepts that can be used for adaptive planning, decision-making, and multi-agent collaboration, with applications to safety-critical cyber-physical systems.

The research lab of protein engineering and synthetic biology led by Dr. Denard (THE DENARD LAB AT UF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING – Home) in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida invites applications for a fully funded post-doctoral position. The Denard lab focuses on developing high-throughput tools to evolve and reprogram enzymes that catalyze post-translational modifications (PTM-enzymes), including proteases, kinases, and others. The postdoctoral associate would be involved in several ongoing projects in the lab. One project is to discover modulatory proteins (antibodies, nanobodies, etc…) that can reprogram the activity of PTM-enzymes using a powerful high-throughput discovery platform. In this project, the postdoctoral associate will introduce deep learning to the project to establish sequence function relationships and predict modulator properties from sequence (funded by NIH MIRA) and expand the platform to other enzymes. Other projects in the lab include: 1) comprehensive profiling and engineering of sortase substrate specificity, 2) developing an aggregation sensor to study the sequence function relationship of a human protein aggregation disease, 3) engineering protein disaggregases, and 4) building a yeast model to study the mutational landscape of SRP54 and uncover how congenital mutations lead to human disorders (funded by Live Like Bella Foundation Grant) (UF researcher receives grant to study gene involved in pediatric cancers » Cancer Center » UF Health Cancer Center » University of Florida (ufl.edu)). The Denard lab is funded by an NIH MIRA, a Live Like Bella Foundation Grant and the NSF CAREER award. The Denard is a young, vibrant, and inclusive research. In the Spring of 2022, we moved in brand new facilities. We are supported by state-of-the-art instruments, both in our lab and in core facilities. The postdoctoral associate will be involved in multiple projects, able to advance their career on multiple fronts.

The Oweiss lab at the University of Florida is seeking highly-motivated candidates for a postdoctoral position. The chosen candidate will conduct research focused on studying basic mechanisms of sensorimotor integration in healthy and pathological brain states and translate this knowledge to clinical applications of movement and cognitive disorders. Current projects funded by NIH include: 1- Using multi-photon microscopy and optogenetic techniques to monitor and perturb neural circuits at cellular and subcellular resolution in awake behaving mice to investigate mechanisms of neural plasticity during learning Brain Machine Interface (BMI) control, sensory- and memory-guided navigation in virtual reality environments. 2- Using chronic deep brain recording and stimulation (DBR/DBS) in human subjects to characterize neurophysiological signatures of motor control in thalamic nuclei and use these biomarkers to provide closed loop control of DBS therapy to alleviate pathological symptoms of essential tremor. The position will focus on carrying out experiments to record and analyze brain activity in the presence and absence of targeted stimulation. The candidate will receive training on data analysis and machine learning (ML) techniques to guide the optimization of stimulation parameters in animal (optogenetics) and human (electrical) studies. Candidates will publish peer-reviewed journal articles and help mentor graduate students carrying out experiments. Desirable skills may include any of the following: single and/or population neural recording, two-photon imaging/optogenetic control in awake behaving mice, or machine learning/computational neuroscience.
