We seek a postdoctoral fellow to study motor control and the biomechanics of sound production in songbirds and rodents. The positions will be part of an interdisciplinary, international consortium consisting of three nodes: the Sober Lab at Emory University (Atlanta, USA), the Vocal Neuromechanics Lab at the Department of Biology at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU, Odense, Denmark), and the Complex Flow Modeling and Simulation Lab at the University of Maine (Orono, USA). The open position is located in Atlanta, USA, but applicant will receive mentorship from and (post-pandemic) travel between all three research nodes.   The positions are funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation (Denmark) as part of the Interdisciplinary Synergy Programme along with the National Institutes of Health (USA). They are available as of October 2021, or until filled, for a three-year period. Background Although the physics of voice production is described in humans, experimental difficulties prevent systematic investigation of voice control and associated diseases. Consequently, we lack physics-based causal models connecting neural activity to sounds produced. In contrast, in songbirds and rodents - the best animal models for speech acquisition and neuropsychiatric communicative dysfunctions - we can probe the neural circuits controlling vocal behavior but lack insight in how their activity is transformed into sound by their vocal organs. In this interdisciplinary project, we will use state-of-the-art techniques from neuroscience, physiology, engineering, and biomechanics to integrate physics-based, computational models with novel experimental paradigms to causally link neural activity to sound production in songbirds and rodents. Preferred qualifications We are looking for an applicant with: - a PhD in bio-imaging, biomechanics, engineering, neuroscience, or a related field Other experiences, such as signal analysis, and/or programming (C++, Matlab, or equivalent) present a distinct advantage. We seek scholars with one of the following distinct profiles, but possibly also other types or researchers: - Experience in biomechanics. We will use combined in vitroand ex vivo approaches studying effects of muscle recruitment on sound production. Experimental techniques: high-speed imaging, 3D motion capture, muscle mechanics, kinematic analysis, mechanical tissue properties and microscopy.  - Experience in micro-surgical experimental procedures. Experience with EMG implantation or other muscle (or nerve) surgery is ideal, but any kind of micro-surgical experience is a strong asset. Our research The Sober Lab investigates how the brain controls complex behaviors and improves motor output through practice. We use songbird and rodent species to investigate how networks of neurons and muscle fibers control vocal and forelimb behavior, respectively. To do so, we combine behavioral manipulations, neurophysiological and muscle (EMG) recordings, and computational approaches. The Vocal Neuromechanics Lab uses a combination of experimental and computational approaches to study motor control and physical mechanisms of sound production in the vocal vertebrates. We use and develop methods from biomechanics, electrophysiology, acoustics, and behavior at different levels of organization (cellular, whole organ, in vivo).   The Complex Flow Modeling and Simulation Lab focuses on modelling complex flow phenomena using high-fidelity immersed boundary based computational method incorporating with massive parallel computing. Current research interests include complex biomedical, physiological, and biological flows with complex, moving boundaries and flow structure interaction as well as renewable energy applications.

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pediatric Cancer Genomics  Hong Lab     Requirements:  A minimum of a Doctoral degree (PhD, MD, MD/PhD or equivalent) is required, preferably in Cancer Biology.  Applicants should not have more than 1 years of postdoctoral experience. The candidate should possess strong interpersonal communication and analytical skills with written and oral fluency in English.  Further, the ideal candidate will be motivated, detailed, goal-oriented and possess excellent organizational skills.     Summary of the Fellowship:  The Hong Lab (www.thehonglab.org) is seeking a highly-motivated individual to study the genomes, epigenomes and transcriptomes of pediatric cancers. In the lab, we use computational biology (e.g., whole genome, ATAC-seq, RNA-seq and single cell) along with functional genomics (e.g., CRISPR-Cas9 or ORF). We study kidney and brain cancers such as Wilms Tumor and cancers involving the SWI/SNF chromatin modifying complex such as Renal Medullary Carcinoma, Rhabdoid Tumor and Atypical Teratoid/ Rhabdoid Tumor.     Our research laboratory is located within the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Emory University and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta in the Health Science Research Building. Fellows will have access to resources within the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, the Winship Cancer Institute, the Pediatric Research Alliance along with collaborators at Georgia Institute of Technology.    Funding for positions has been secured and will come initially from grants and institutional funds (e.g., Department of Defense, American Cancer Society and Emory University). Please submit a Curriculum Vitae (CV) along with contact information for 3-5 references (including your PhD supervisor) to thehonglab@gmail.com or apply through this portal.     Summary of the Mentor:  Dr. Hong is an Assistant Professor in Pediatrics with an Endowed Investigatorship focused on the study of high-risk childhood cancers. He was previously on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. He completed his post-graduate and post-doctoral training at Boston Children’s Hospital, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. His mentorship style is to meet weekly with postdoctoral fellows with the goal for the fellows to become independent investigators (either in academia or in industry). This will be through a mix of giving presentations, learning how to write grants, identifying independent research projects, writing manuscripts together as well as training recent college graduates along with undergraduate and graduate students.     Summary of the Environment:  Located in Atlanta, Emory University, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center brings together world renowned clinicians, innovative researchers and dedicated professionals in the common mission of conquering cancer in children and young adults.  Combining extremely talented people with the best technologies in a genuinely positive environment, we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all ages; we conduct research that advances treatment; we educate tomorrows’ physician/researchers; we reach out to underserved members of our community; and we work with amazing partners, including Georgia Institute of Technology and the Georgia Research Alliance.
