About this position

Virginia Tech’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC is advertising multiple Postdoctoral Associate positions in the DiFeliceantonio Lab and with collaborators in Roanoke, Virginia.

The lab, led by Alexandra DiFeliceantonio, studies the metabolic and neural mechanisms of food choice, with a strong emphasis on how modern ultra-processed foods influence physiology, brain function, and eating behavior. One opening focuses on understanding how diet affects the brain and future eating behavior; another is aimed at candidates with a more computational neuroscience background interested in experiments involving patients with implanted electrodes and neural/physiological monitoring.

Research in the lab is multidisciplinary and draws on neuroscience, nutrition, metabolism, psychology, and computational approaches. Duties include research conceptualization, assisting with experiment and grant proposal design, preparing publications and conference materials, analyzing data, and training/supervising research personnel.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in health science, neuroscience, psychology, nutrition, or a related field. The PhD must have been awarded within the last four years, with at least one year of eligibility remaining. A publication/presentation record is required, along with mentorship or teaching experience; multidisciplinary lab experience is preferred.

Funding/employment: this is a paid postdoctoral appointment at Virginia Tech. Salary is commensurate with experience, and the role is full-time (40+ hours/week). The posting does not list a stipend amount.

Application window: review date is 2026-05-15. Interested candidates should apply through the Virginia Tech jobs portal and choose the role that best matches their background.
