Stanford University’s Pediatric Exocrine Pancreas Program is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to investigate the mechanisms of pancreatitis and the pain associated with this inflammatory disease. The project is based in Dr. Sohail Husain’s laboratory and uses zebrafish as a whole-organism new approach methodology to support discovery of targeted therapies. The researcher will develop hypothesis-driven studies in adult and larval zebrafish models of pancreatitis. Research directions include identif...

Northeastern University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to conduct independent and collaborative research at the intersection of epidemiology, environmental health, biostatistics, and child development at the Boston, Massachusetts, main campus. The fellow will investigate how early environmental exposures—including biological, social, and physical factors—influence developmental, behavioral, neurodevelopmental, and health outcomes in children. The work will draw on longitudinal and pop...

Northeastern University’s Shansky Lab is seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher for NIH-funded behavioral neuroscience research on sex differences in cortical circuits that mediate defensive responding. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to an integrated rodent neuroscience program involving colony management, stereotaxic surgery, behavioral testing, fiber photometry protocols, and quantitative data analysis. The project also includes brain tissue processing for immunohistochemistr...
