Per the National Science Foundation: Participating postdoctoral associates supported with NSF funds in RTG must be citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States or its territories and possessions. An NSF-funded Research and Training Group (RTG) in Computation- And Data-Enabled Science (CADES) at Portland State University (PSU) will produce unique workforce additions possessing deep knowledge in specific areas of computational mathematics and statistics, as well as a broad understanding of current issues in data-driven science. The CADES group effort is divided into three areas: (Area I) numerical techniques for partial differential operators, (Area II) data-intensive statistical learning, and (Area III) optimization methods for data science. In addition to foundational issues in computational mathematics, examples of applied research directions include light propagation through optical devices, forecasting of weather, air quality, and drought, understanding progression of diseases like cancer and dementia, and multifacility location problems for warehouse and wireless services. All projects involve high performance computing and open-source scientific software products. Currently, we are seeking postdoctoral candidates interested in working in our team RTG environment. Candidates whose doctoral research experience intersects with at least one of Areas I, II, III, and who are desirous of acquiring skills in the remaining areas, are sought. NSF requires all RTG postdocs to be US citizens, nationals, or permanent residents. In the CADES program, trainees develop skills not solely for academia, but also for research careers in industry and government labs. This RTG specifically aims to produce researchers A. trained in both mathematical and statistical techniques requiring advanced computational tools, B. exposed to both disciplinary advances and real-world data, and C. able to communicate both mathematically and in application-specific language. To this end, innovative training structures, seldom found in mathematics departments, are now being built at the Fariborz Maseeh Department of Mathematics & Statistics for RTG postdocs and students. The department has previously leveraged large philanthropic investments to successfully recruit leading scholars in computational science. It offers growth opportunities in a nurturing atmosphere where senior faculty are invested in collaborative group building and mentoring. The department is housed in a newly renovated LEED-certified modern facility in downtown Portland, well-connected by rail, streetcar, and bus lines. The Portland area, home to numerous software and hardware companies in the high-tech sector, offers a thriving, progressive, urban scene, in close proximity to stunning nature. The proposed start date is is 9/16/2026, but could possibly start sooner depending on the needs of the project and candidate. The Hiring Manager is flexible on the start date. The current end date of this position is 4/30/2027. The position may be extended contingent on the extension of the grant end date, to a maximum of 15 months.

The Mello lab (Dept. Behavioral Neuroscience) uses zebra finches, a songbird, as a model organism to study the neurobiology of vocal learning. We employ methods in molecular biology, functional and comparative genomics, neuroanatomy, ethology, acoustic analysis and bioinformatics to study how their specialized vocal brain circuitry enables male zebra finches to produce complex song patterns. We also study how these birds learn their song guided by auditory feedback, similar to how infants acquire speech and language skills. The lab maintains a website (ZEBrA: ************************ with a brain gene expression atlas of relevance to vocal function and for comparative studies. We have strong collaborative ties with the von Gersdorff (Vollum) lab to study neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission in the song circuitry using whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology in slices. Our recent work has focused on excitatory projection neurons in song nucleus RA, an area analogous to the human laryngeal motor cortex. The Mello lab is recruiting a postdoc to investigate the genetic, cellular and hormonal bases of the sexual dimorphism of song nucleus RA in zebra finches, a species where females do not sing. This position is supported by an R01 from the NIH/NINDS. Planned studies include functional and single cell transcriptomics, analyses of effects of sex, age and learning condition on brain gene expression patterns, hormone- and viral-based manipulations through stereotaxic brain injections, and song acoustic analysis, with opportunities to collaborate in studies of neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission in slices using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings.

A Postdoctoral Scholar position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Brian J. O'Roak in the Department of Molecular & Medical Genetics (MMG) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The O'Roak Lab investigates how mutations in key autism risk genes, particularly transcription factors, disrupt neurodevelopmental processes. The position offers the opportunity to apply cutting-edge developmental neuroscience, genomic, and physiological approaches to understand how these mutations alter molecular, cellular, synaptic, and circuit-level functions. Candidates may employ human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived neural models, in vivo rodent models, or integrative approaches spanning both systems. Function/Duties of Position * Participate in lab work and research projects as assigned. * Develop innovative research projects and tools. * Prepare results for publications, presentations, database, and grant submissions. * Attend and present technical status reports at group meetings. * Assists in the daily operation of the lab including hazardous waste disposal, sterilization of equipment, cleaning glassware, general servicing of equipment and ordering lab supplies, and preparation of media and buffers. * Other duties as assigned. Required Qualifications * PhD degree in neuroscience, cell/molecular biology, genetics or related field. * A strong interest in developmental neuroscience. * A demonstrated ability to work independently and learn new techniques quickly. * Candidates must be well organized, self-motivated and dependable. * Excellent communication skills with the ability to plan, document, analyze and report data. Preferred Qualifications * Preferred experiences include, characterizing rodent models, iPS cell work, neuronal culture, analyzing -omics datasets, and expertise in microscopy. Additional Details Computer & laboratory bench work. Work with human cell lines. Work flexibility depending on experiment requirements.
