We are seeking post-doctoral candidates who are interested in joining our research efforts to better understand evolution and function of alternative adaptive immune systems in vertebrates. Our studies with others infer that T cells and B cells have been constant companions in vertebrates for more than 500 million years. However, for antigen recognition, lymphocytes in the extant jawless vertebrates, lampreys and hagfish, use somatically diversified variable lymphocyte receptors (VLRs) composed of leucine-rich repeat sequences instead of immunoglobulin V(D)J domains. Convergent evolution likely accounts for such alternative solutions to achieve specific adaptive immunity. Characterization of monoclonal lamprey antibodies indicates they are remarkably diverse, typically have greater antigen-specificity than conventional Ig-based antibodies, and may recognize novel antigens, such as unique target epitopes on human tumor cells. Current studies address (1) the evolution of the VLR genes, (2) the composite structures of the VLR receptors, (3) a molecular understand of the underlying mechanisms of VLR diversification, (4) the functional interactions between the VLRA+ and VLRC+ T-like cells and the VLRB+ B-like cells, and (5) the roles of key regulatory genes in lymphocyte development and receptor assembly using CRISPR/CAS modified lamprey embryos and larvae.      MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: A doctoral degree or equivalent (Ph.D., M.D., ScD., D.V.M., DDS etc) in an appropriate field. Excellent scientific writing ability and strong oral communication skills. The ability to work effectively and collegiately with colleagues. Additional qualifications as specified by the Principal Investigator.   PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Successful candidates will possess a recent Ph.D. or MD equivalent degree in immunology, molecular biology, virology or a related field, with less than three years of postdoctoral experience. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated a solid record of scientific productivity and rigor. Excellent oral and written communication skills are required, as well as the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.   This position involves: Working with blood, body fluids, tissues, or other potentially infectious materials or cell lines of lampreys, hagfish, and mice. Involves potential exposure to hazardous chemicals.   Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future.

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Rehabilitation and Applied Movement Performance Lab (ReAMP) directed by Dr. Mark Lyle, in the Emory School of Medicine Division of Physical Therapy.   Research focus: Our lab is particularly interested in determining how and to what extent proprioceptive feedback from muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs is modulated to meet unique task demands, and the extent to which the adaptive capacity to modulate proprioceptive feedback is influenced by injuries, aging and rehabilitation strategies (e.g. motor practice, targeted neuromodulation). Our efforts aim to improve the clinical management of locomotor deficits across healthy aging and in persons with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, as well as applications to injury prevention strategies in athletes. Active studies range from detailed study of spinal circuitry in the cat, traditional neurophysiological studies in humans and quantitative movement analysis. Collaborations with Emory Sports Medicine are dedicated to improving outcomes after anterior crucitate liagment injury (e.g. probing sensorimotor mechanisms of poor quadriceps recovery) and identifying risk of reinjury.   Responsibilities: The postdoctoral fellow will help lead a NIH funded project adapting methods used to study Golgi tendon organ feedback in the cat to humans. This project will examine the strength and functional distribution of Golgi tendon organ feedback between lower limb muscles in healthy young and older adults, as well as in persons after stroke and spinal cord injury. Specific roles include coordinating and executing all phases of data collection, analysis, and dissemination. Professional development will be emphasized with opportunities for additional mentorship from Drs. Steve Wolf, Edelle Field-Fote and others. Candidates are expected and encouraged to work with Dr. Lyle and collaborators at Emory/Georgia Tech/Georgia State to develop complementary research projects and applications for independent funding.   Qualifications: The qualified candidate must have a Ph.D. in rehabilitation/movement science, engineering, applied neurophysiology or related disciplines. Candidates must be passionate about rehabilitation research with an interest in understanding the task dependent functional role of proprioceptive feedback. S/he should have experience with behavioral testing in humans. S/he must have the ability to work independently and with a collaborative team, and should be comfortable working with all persons (e.g. athletes, persons with a spinal cord injury or stroke). Experience with motion capture, nerve and muscle stimulation, EMG, and related data analysis programs (Visual 3D, MATLAB, etc) is a plus.   Emory/Atlanta: Emory university is located in close proximity to Georgia Insititute of Technology and Georgia State University providing a rich academic and intellectual environment.
