Postdoc position at Brown University An exciting full-time opportunity as a Postdoctoral Associate exists in Brown University Department of Biostatistics and at the Center for Gerontology and Healthcare Research. This candidate will be mentored by Drs. Roee Gutman, at the Brown University School of Public Health and Thomas Travison at the Marcus Institute for Brain Research. The position is for 24 months and opportunities for travel to conferences and collaborating institutions are available. We are seeking a highly motivated researcher with an interest in pragmatic cluster randomized trials to work on methodological development in the designing and analyzing adaptive pragmatic randomized trials to address non-adherence and proxy responses. Many pragmatic cluster randomized trials suffer from non-adherence at multiple levels. Currently, there are limited methods to address non-adherence in such trials at the analysis stage under restrictive assumptions. An important area of research involves designing trials that address possible non-adherence and would allow for less restrictive assumptions. The focus of this research will be to develop adaptive trials designs that would allow for adaptation of the intervention to address non-adherence during the same trial or in follow-up trials. We also intend to develop analysis methods to address non-adherence in pragmatic trials. Lastly, we would like to consider pragmatic trials when patients cannot report their outcomes and only proxy responses are available for them. These are scenarios are common for people with dementia. The position is supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) IMbedded Pragmatic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory with additional mentorship from faculty members at Brown University, Yale University, Harvard University and NYU School of Medicine. Principal goals of the NIA IMPACT Collaboratory are to develop and disseminate research methods and best practices in the conduct, dissemination and implementation of embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCT) for people living with dementia and their caregivers. The Postdoctoral Associate will have the opportunity to work with a variety of mentors in the IMPACT Collaboratory and world leaders in pragmatic and cluster randomized trial designs. To apply, please submit a CV and copies of two most relevant publications by email to roee_gutman@brown.edu. Please include contact information for three references and in your cover letter, summarize your relevant research experience and indicate your interest in the research area as well as the date you will be available to begin.  Applicants must have completed all PhD requirements prior to starting work. Scientific questions regarding this position should be directed to Dr. Gutman at roee_gutman@brown.edu, Thomas Travison at TGT@hsl.harvard.edu. Applications will be considered as they arrive.

Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity at U Penn: Developing Targeted Protein Therapeutics for Acute Critical Illnesses We engineer targeted therapeutics for the treatment of acute critical illnesses, such as ARDS (the acute lung inflammation that kills in COVID-19), sepsis, stroke, and more. We employ the tools of protein engineering and nanomedicine to conjugate affinity moieties (e.g., antibodies and their derivatives) to therapeutics, in order to localize them to their site of action. We test these in mouse models of acute critical illness, as well as large animal models, and in ex vivo human organs that were deemed unsuitable for organ transplant. The current postdoc position will be funded by a grant to develop targeted therapeutics to treat cytokine storm. Cytokine storm (also called CRS) occurs when inflammatory cytokines reach very high systemic levels, and occurs in COVID-19, after CAR-T therapy, in sepsis, trauma, and other lethal conditions. Our novel solution aims to clear the toxic cytokines from the systemic circulation, while preserving moderate cytokine levels in the local tissue, where cytokines are key for fighting infection and cancer. While we are hiring for this grant, the postdoc will also be empowered to develop their own de novo projects and/or build off existing technologies in the lab (such as our 2021 papers recently published in Nature Nanotechnology and accepted at Advanced Materials). The PI, Dr. Jake Brenner, is a physician-scientist who also takes care of patients in the ICU, so the candidate will have the opportunity to observe the diseases we work on in the hospital, and work with clinicians who provide patient samples. The co-PI, Dr. Patrick Glassman, PhD, is a new faculty member in Pharmacology with expertise in protein engineering and pharmacokinetic modeling. We regularly partner with existing companies and spin out our own start-ups, giving the opportunity to gain experience interacting with industry. Qualifications: Highly motivated PhD or MD (or international equivalent) with experience in one or more of the following fields: molecular biology, bioengineering, chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences, or a related field. Prior experience in protein engineering and animal models is preferred.
