Northeastern University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Nutritional Immunology to join the Okeke Lab in the Department of Biology in Boston. Led by Dr. Emeka Okeke, the lab investigates how nutrition and bioactive molecules influence immune function, inflammation, and host–microbiome interactions. The postdoctoral researcher will lead an interdisciplinary project focused on the anti-inflammatory properties of a bioactive, dietary-derived peptide. The research will define how the ...

The Johnson Lab in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas is offering a fully funded PhD position beginning in Fall 2027 in photosynthesis and global ecology. The project will link plant physiology experiments with satellite remote sensing and Earth system modeling to improve understanding of photosynthesis and the global carbon cycle. The doctoral researcher will work across experimental plant science, ecological analysis, remote sensing, and Earth system s...

Tufts University is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to support research at the Center for Applied Brain and Cognitive Sciences (CABCS) in Medford, Massachusetts. CABCS is a collaborative, interdisciplinary research initiative focused on measuring, predicting, and enhancing human cognitive capabilities, performance, and human-system interactions in complex, high-stakes, real-world environments, including military contexts. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to the Center’s data analysis a...

The Stafstrom Lab in the Department of Biology at Indiana University Bloomington invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in sensory ecology, evolution, and animal behavior. The lab investigates the sensory ecology of net-casting spiders to understand how sensory systems evolve and how they are connected to predatory behavior. This unusual study system supports research across both proximate and ultimate mechanisms of behavior, with opportunities to explore neurophysiology, sens...

This postdoctoral research opportunity is offered by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), the Department of Defense’s premier research enterprise for infectious diseases, brain health, and performance optimization. The project focuses on proof-of-concept studies for developing next-generation prophylactics. Working under a mentor’s guidance, the researcher will contribute to a highly collaborative environment that connects computational protein design with wet-lab expression, puri...

This postdoctoral role is based in Texas A&M AgriLife Research’s Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The postdoctoral scholar will join a laboratory focused on how structural variation and complex regions of the human genome influence genome function, neurodevelopment, and disease. The position is designed for an independent and collaborative researcher who will develop research questions, plan and conduct studies, and communicate findings t...

The MINDSET Postdoctoral Scholar position is a full-time, limited-term research appointment in the Informatics and Intelligent Systems Department at The Pennsylvania State University . The scholar will work with Teaching Professor Robert Thomson on research in Informatics and Applied Cognition , focusing on the development and generalization of cognitive models that integrate analyses to capture expert behavior and strategies for vulnerability analysis. The role is centered on building research ...

This fellowship is hosted by the Air Force Research Laboratory within the U.S. Department of Defense and is based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, with the appointment located in Dayton. The project places the participant in a research community working with an ORISE mentor on modeling approaches related to neural stimulation and inhibition by laser exposure. The research is centered on understanding how laser energy drives biological and biophysical responses in neurons. The fellowsh...
