Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Our lab investigates the neural mechanisms in the cortex responsible for auditory-vocal integration. We employ a multi-disciplinary approach that includes bioacoustics, behavioral training, multi-electrode electrophysiology, and modeling to understand the role of the auditory cortex to process complex natural sounds and its connections with vocal production centers. We use an auditory specialist, echolocating bats, making it possible to directly measure how auditory perception of complex sounds is altered when discreet cell types within auditory cortical microcircuits are reversibly manipulated. The position also will involve many opportunities for professional development.

16. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Pickrell lab at Virginia Tech is recruiting a highly motivated, talented Postdoctoral Associate to study mechanisms of intracellular organelle communication. Our group found that kinase signaling between two organelles (mitochondria and centrosomes) causes cells to either switch between cleaning up damaged mitochondria (mitophagy) or cell division (Sarraf, Sideris et al. Cell Reports 2019). The successful candidate will work on a project focused on understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of this phenomenon. What are the mechanisms of TBK1 translocation (a protein involved in mitophagy, cell cycle, and inflammation)? How does this influence which process the cell “decides” to do? Does mitophagy control mitochondrial inheritance in neural stem cells? We are seeking someone with exceptional expertise in cell and molecular biology to join our team.
