Marcus Autism Center, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University Department of Pediatrics are conducting a search for a doctoral-level clinician (i.e., psychologist or BCBA-D) with specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and early treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children to provide clinical care and to support the growth of our ABA Therapy Program.   This position primarily focuses on providing clinical care, as well as clinical case management and supervision of Master’s-level Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) providing intervention to children targeting core deficits of autism. Children seen in the program receive 1:1 intervention delivered by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) for 3 hours/day, 5 days/week in a clinic setting. The program emphasizes early and focused treatment targeting social communication and play skills, strives to ensure children are ready to move to a less-intensive setting by discharge, and heavily involves caregivers in their child’s intervention. The ABA Therapy program relies on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to inform treatment strategies, and utilizes a developmentally-appropriate approach to targeting skill deficits. The program also has several active ongoing research projects investigating the most effective and efficient ways to target core deficits of ASD. In the past year, the program has expanded beyond the Atlanta location to establish locations in both Cumming and Sandy Springs and has plans for continued growth.

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to lead innovative research in the electrophysiology of Parkinson’s disease with the goal of defining circuits that modulate behavior and developing novel neurostimulation strategies.   Dr. Miocinovic is a movement disorders neurologist and a biomedical engineer with expertise in translational and clinical electrophysiology studies. Her laboratory at Emory University focuses on brain network pathophysiology in movement disorders (Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and tremor) and the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS). The methods used include: 1) intracranial recordings during DBS surgeries (single-units, local field potentials, electrocorticography) and 2) non-invasive EEG under various medication and stimulation conditions. These approaches are enhanced by advanced imaging techniques, patient-specific computational modeling, behavioral tasks, quantitative symptom monitoring, and machine learning, developed in the lab or through collaborative efforts. lab website for more information:  (https://movement.bme.gatech.edu/)     A postdoctoral fellow would spearhead a project to identify neural circuits involved in therapeutic benefit and side effects induced by DBS in patients with Parkinson’s disease. The aim is to understand how deep brain stimulation affects those circuits in individual patients and devise strategies to optimize therapy. Intraoperative and clinic-based experiments can be pursued.   This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in translational computational neuroscience. We offer cutting-edge scientific projects, attentive mentoring and multi-disciplinary collaborations in a world-class research environment at Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology.

Opening for a postdoctoral fellowship position co-mentored by two faculty to study the role of a signaling pathway in the development of cardiomyopathy. The project is funded by NIH and is based on discovery published in Nature Communications in 2020 that the PIX signaling pathway is required for assembly of integrin adhesion sites in the muscle of C. elegans. This was followed up by generating a heart-specific knockout of one PIX pathway component in mice. These mice develop dilated cardiomyopathy. Your job will be to characterize these mice and gain insight into how the cardiomyopathy develops. You can also receive training in C. elegans muscle biology studying the same pathway. Opportunity to take some aspects of this project to your own lab in the future.   You are expected to design, conduct, and evaluate research on this topic while receiving advanced training from two Principal Investigators, one an expert in C. elegans muscle biology, the other an expert in mouse heart cell biology and physiology.  You will be encouraged to further develop your research independence and professional skills. These skills include writing scientific papers, giving talks at national meetings and applying for fellowship and eventual grant applications. You will also have the opportunity to mentor the research of undergraduates and graduate students, and if interested give one or more lectures in a course designed for undergraduates or graduate students.
