1. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Digital Trial Center (DTC) at Scripps Research leads groundbreaking studies that address the world’s most pressing health concerns. As pioneers of the “site-less” clinical trial, we leverage rapidly evolving digital health technologies to re-engineer the clinical trial experience around the participant, rather than the research site. In our prospective translational research, we use digital technologies, such as wearable sensors, remote biosample collection, sleep trackers and online surveys. With these technologies, we want to better understand health behaviors and transform the participant experience, returning individualized information through this technology. Together, we are transforming how and where clinical research is done.

17. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Dr. Gallay lab in the Immunology and Microbiology department is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate researcher to discover new therapeutic candidates that can effectively combat SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 in both mice and in vitro models. While the development of effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, vaccine hesitancy in developed countries and vast shortages in low-to-middle income countries are jeopardizing efforts to curb the pandemic. It is estimated that significant proportions of the population are unlikely to be vaccinated until 2030, at the earliest. Consequently, the conditions are ripe for continued spike mutation and evolution to increasingly transmissible strains causing more severe illness.

20. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral associate in the Dr. Srinivasan lab to work in the area of neural the gut-brain axis and neuroendocrine biology of lipid metabolism. It is now well-established that communication between the brain and the gut, the so-called gut-brain axis, regulates important aspects of behavior and metabolism in many species. However, the salient mechanisms and molecular features of gut-brain communication remain mysterious. In our lab, we utilize C. elegans as a model system for our discovery studies of gut-brain communication, in which we utilize cutting-edge technologies to measure dynamic neural and metabolic activity in living animals. Such cell-based readouts are coupled with changes in behavior and metabolism, to uncover novel pathways all the way from molecules to whole-animal biology.
