Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Thomas J. Gardella in the Endocrine Unit at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). This is a full-time position with an affiliated Research Fellow appointment proposed at Harvard Medical School (HMS). PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: The Postdoctoral Fellow will conduct investigations into the pharmacologic actions of novel PTH analogs being developed as candidate new therapies for diseases of bone and calcium metabolism. A key analog to be studied is LA-PTH, a unique PTH analog that interacts with a specific conformation of the PTH receptor resulting in a greatly prolonged duration of action despite having only a short circulating half-life. LA-PTH is being developed for treatment of hypoparathyroidism. Studies in hypoparathyroid rat models will examine the efficacy of LA-PTH in normalizing serum calcium levels, while assessing the impact on bone metabolism, renal function, and cardiovascular parameters (examination of serum and urine calcium/phosphate levels, bone biomarkers, analysis of bone structure by histology and micro-computed tomography, and CV telemetry). Cell-based in vitro studies of PTH ligand interactions with WT and mutant PTH receptor variants will complement the animal studies. The overall program is highly translational, expected to have significant publication potential, and will lead to improved understanding of basic biological mechanisms as well as potential new therapeutics. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE REQUIRED: • The candidate will have a PhD, MD, or MD/PhD in the biomedical sciences, with experience in whole animal research techniques and animal models, pharmacology, molecular/cell biology, and biochemistry. • This position offers excellent opportunity to learn and apply skills relevant to physiological research, drug development, GPCR pharmacology, endocrinology, and the genetic causes of disease. Qualified candidates should be able to work independently as well as in a group environment. WORKING CONDITIONS: • The environment is a well-equipped, well-staffed research laboratory. • Work hours flexible and generally conducted over a forty-hour workweek. • Studies will be conducted with rodent disease models, as well as cultured cells • No direct patient contact will occur. Post-doctoral fellows will benefit from connections to premier academic laboratories, hospitals, and research institutions in the greater Boston biomedical environment. Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School are affirmative action/equal opportunity employers. APPLICATION: Interested candidates should send a cover letter, CV and contact information for at least two references to: Thomas J Gardella, MD Gardella@Helix.MGH.Harvard.edu

Postdoctoral research position is available for the research on the prefrontal function for higher cognition and its dysfunction in psychiatric illnesses in the Department of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at Yale School of Medicine. Research in our group (PI: Hyojung Seo, PhD.) focuses on, 1) cortico-striatal mechanisms of causal inference in learning and decision-making, 2) prefrontal regulation of motivation and its dysfunction in depression, 3) potential roles of the prefrontal NMDA-receptor in prefrontal memory and regulation of behavior. To address these questions, we use an array of techniques including electrophysiology, pharmacological/ electrical circuit manipulation in non-human primate (NHP) model as well as computational modeling on behavior and neural circuits in collaboration with computational neuroscientists. We actively explore new techniques such as high channel-count microelectrode array and PET-guided chemogenetic manipulation of neural activity. We are also collaborating with human neuroimaging group (PI: Ifat Levy, PhD.), which provides an excellent opportunity for interdisciplinary approach to understanding prefrontal mechanisms of higher cognition and its translation to human psychiatry. Ideal candidates would have previous experience in animal training, electrophysiology and computational modeling.
