About this position
Postdoctoral Fellow in Astrocyte Signaling Study (APG) at the Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, Maryland, United States.
This postdoctoral opening is hosted by the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) in support of the laboratory of Dr. Jeremy Smyth in the Department of Anatomy, Physiology, and Genetics (APG). The project investigates astrocyte calcium signaling mechanisms that contribute to the development and persistence of chronic pain using a Drosophila model.
The research environment combines neuroscience and cell-signaling approaches with a strong emphasis on experimental biology. The project mentions techniques such as Drosophila genetics, behavioral assays, in vivo calcium imaging, immunofluorescence microscopy, chemo- and optogenetics, neuropharmacology, and gene expression analysis including bulk and/or single-cell RNA sequencing. Applicants with interests or experience in astrocyte physiology, pain and sensory neurobiology, neurodevelopment, microscopy, calcium signaling, RNA sequencing, and bioinformatics are especially relevant.
This is a doctoral-level postdoctoral position; the posting requires a doctoral degree and notes a preferred experience window of 0–5 years beyond the doctorate. The successful candidate should be an independent thinker and should be able to obtain and maintain a T1 Public Trust background check.
Funding is supported by an NIH R01 grant. The job listing gives a salary range of $52,800–$75,000 annually and includes HJF benefits such as medical, dental, vision, health savings, and retirement plans.
To apply, candidates should use the HJF online career portal linked in the posting and submit materials through the official application page. No explicit application deadline is stated in the post.
