  • Postdoctoral Researcher - Public Tech Media Lab

    Uwmsn University of Wisconsin Madison

    Postdoctoral scholar job in Madison, WI

    Current Employees: If you are currently employed at any of the Universities of Wisconsin, log in to Workday to apply through the internal application process. Job Category:Employees in TrainingEmployment Type:Terminal (Fixed Term) Job Profile:Postdoctoral FellowJob Summary:Job Summary: The Public Tech Media Lab is currently hiring a postdoctoral researcher to lead studies of artificial intelligence in journalism. Specific research directions would be developed with the postdoctoral scientist. The broad focus should be on creating AI-based systems to help journalists collect, analyze, and distribute news content, as well as engage audiences. The position is fully funded and will initially be for one year, with the possibility of renewal for another year. We offer a collaborative and international research environment, with Lab members and media partners from across the world, access to computational resources, and research funding. The PTML seeks a postdoctoral fellow who will advance their scholarly projects with opportunities to participate in the vibrant intellectual community at UW-Madison and foster cross-campus exchange. Key Job Responsibilities: Appointments as postdoctoral fellows and postdoctoral trainees should be made only if it can be demonstrated that the appointee's activities are primarily for the benefit of the appointee's own learning and research. Otherwise, it is more appropriate to use an employment title such as researcher or scientist. Employment titles apply whenever the duties assigned are under the direct supervision and control of the employer and are primarily for the benefit of the University or granting agency. The work of individuals appointed as postdoctoral fellows or postdoctoral trainees should be independent or self-directed, subject only to such supervision as might be given by a teacher to a student. These criteria do not prevent the university of the extramural source of funds from receiving some benefit from the appointee's activities. Activities still may be of value to the extramural grantor, or may be useful internally to the university in satisfaction of other grant or contract requirements. The test is whether the work undertaken by the appointee is a necessary and relevant part of the appointee's learning program. However, the "primary benefit" test outlined above does forbid assigning tasks to the appointee which are unnecessary and irrelevant to the learning program or are repetitive beyond that which is necessary to achieve excellence in the activity, even if these tasks do not constitute the major portion of the appointee's activities. Except in rare cases, stipends paid to postdoctoral fellows or trainees are not excludable from gross income for purposes of income tax and thus are fully taxable. Since such stipends are not wages, however, the University will not withhold taxes from monthly stipend checks. Therefore, trainees and fellows may be required to pay estimated taxes on a quarterly basis. Department: The School of Journalism and Mass Communication Compensation: $70,000 Required Qualifications: We seek individuals who think critically, work independently, and approach research with rigor and precision. For this particular position, strong quantitative skills are a must. Other desirable knowledge/skills include: i) machine learning, ii) computational social science methods, and iii) strong writing skills Education: We are looking for individuals with a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Network Science, Communication Studies, or related fields. How to Apply: Qualified applicants should submit: • Statement of Interest (2 pages maximum, single-spaced) describing how your research aligns with the mission of the Public Tech Media Lab. • Postdoctoral Project Narrative (3 pages maximum). In your research proposal, please outline a concrete idea for a research project you would like to conduct in the lab and with our media partners. • Curriculum Vitae. • Contact information for three potential references. Click the "Apply" button to start the application process. Note: There is only one attachment field. Please compile all materials into a single PDF and upload in the attachment field. The deadline to apply for this position is February 15, 2026, at 11:59 PM.

  • Research Scientist I - Zhu Lab

    Versiti 4.3company rating

    Postdoctoral scholar job in Wauwatosa, WI

    Located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Versiti Blood Research Institute (VBRI) is the largest blood-focused research institute in the United States. With over 30 basic, translational, and clinical investigators, the institute is dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge and developing innovative therapies related to blood and blood disorders. The institute's research interests encompass a wide range of topics, including transfusion medicine, cellular therapy, thrombosis/hemostasis, immunology, and hematologic malignancies. As a vital part of Versiti, a non-profit organization with a blood bank at its core, the VBRI strives to improve lives through innovative research and the development of novel diagnostics and treatments. VBRI is part of the Milwaukee Regional Medical Campus, a rapidly growing clinical-translational research hub. VBRI's proximity to the Medical College of Wisconsin, Childrens' Hospital of Wisconsin, and Froedtert Hospital facilitates seamless interdisciplinary collaborations. A range of exemplary core facilities support highly competitive research. In the summer of 2024, construction of a new research building began, doubling existing VBRI research space to enable the recruitment of 10-15 new faculty. With its renowned researchers, strategic expansion plans and location in a highly collaborative environment, the VBRI is poised to maintain and expand its position as one of the leading hematology institutes in the world. Position Summary Develops and elucidates scientific aims, experimental design and execution. A Research Scientist I is equivalent to the Research Assistant Professor position at many universities. The Zhu Lab is primarily focused on unraveling the mechanisms of receptor transmembrane signaling. Specifically, our attention is directed towards cell surface receptors featuring single transmembrane domains, such as integrins, receptor tyrosine kinases, and receptor-like tyrosine phosphatases. Through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing structural biology, protein engineering, biochemistry, and cell biology techniques, we aim to elucidate how these receptors transmit signals across the cell membrane. Our investigations center on understanding the conformational regulation triggered by ligand binding at the extracellular domain or cytoplasmic domain stimulations. Our goal is to illustrate the intricate mechanisms governing receptor-ligand interactions and the conformational changes necessary for transmembrane signaling, spanning the extracellular, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains. We are currently engaged in several projects, delving into the conformational requirements for bi-directional transmembrane signaling in integrins, elucidating the structural and functional basis of integrins as pathogen receptors, exploring integrin ligand interactions, and developing antibodies and small molecules that target or stabilize specific integrin conformations. Integrins, crucial cell surface receptors, play a pivotal role in regulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions across various biological processes, including development, hemostasis, antigen recognition, homing, and inflammation. Dysregulation of integrin activation is observed in pathological conditions such as autoimmune diseases and thrombosis. Our overarching goal is to uncover the intricate correlation between receptor conformational regulation and signal transduction, aiming to contribute to the design of more efficient and safer therapeutic agents. A new focus of our lab entails unraveling the mechanism behind coronavirus spike protein-mediated cell fusion and viral infection. We aim to apply the gained knowledge to develop inhibitors for antiviral treatment and diverse virus-based applications, including cell-specific gene delivery and oncolysis. Total Rewards Package Benefits Versiti provides a comprehensive benefits package based on your job classification. Full-time regular employes are eligible for Medical, Dental, and Vision Plans, Paid Time Off (PTO) and Holidays, Short- and Long-term disability, life insurance, 7% match dollar for dollar 401(k), voluntary programs, discount programs, others.

    Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals 4.6company rating

    Postdoctoral scholar job in Verona, WI

    Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARWR) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that develops medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, Arrowhead therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Arrowhead's RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing. Arrowhead is focused on developing innovative drugs for diseases with a genetic basis, typically characterized by the overproduction of one or more proteins that are involved with disease. The depth and versatility of our RNAi technologies enables us to potentially address conditions in virtually any therapeutic area and pursue disease targets that are not otherwise addressable by small molecules and biologics. Arrowhead is leading the field in bringing the promise of RNAi to address diseases outside of the liver, and our clinical pipeline includes disease targets in the liver and lung with a promising pipeline of preclinical candidates. Arrowhead's corporate headquarters is in Pasadena, CA with research and development teams in Madison, WI & San Diego, CA, and a state of the art manufacturing facility in Verona, WI.

  • Associate Scientist III, CMC Process Development

    Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals 4.6company rating

    Postdoctoral scholar job in Verona, WI

    Job Description Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARWR) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that develops medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, Arrowhead therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Arrowhead's RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing. Arrowhead is focused on developing innovative drugs for diseases with a genetic basis, typically characterized by the overproduction of one or more proteins that are involved with disease. The depth and versatility of our RNAi technologies enables us to potentially address conditions in virtually any therapeutic area and pursue disease targets that are not otherwise addressable by small molecules and biologics. Arrowhead is leading the field in bringing the promise of RNAi to address diseases outside of the liver, and our clinical pipeline includes disease targets in the liver and lung with a promising pipeline of preclinical candidates. Arrowhead's corporate headquarters is in Pasadena, CA with research and development teams in Madison, WI & San Diego, CA, and a state of the art manufacturing facility in Verona, WI. Our employees are nimble, science-driven innovators who are collaborating to bring new therapies to patients in need. The Position The Associate Scientist III works in the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls Group focusing on oligonucleotide synthesis development. This is an ideal position for an individual with an organic chemistry background who has an interest in projects related to novel technology in synthesis and purification of oligonucleotides and bioconjugates. Responsibilities Work independently or with senior scientists to develop new synthetic approaches to desired compounds while keeping an eye toward large-scale synthesis Perform solid-phase synthesis and purification of oligonucleotide drug candidates Mentor others on internal protocols, practices and processes Analyze small-molecule and macromolecular targets using standard methods Recognize unusual circumstances, identify root cause(s) to problems, and begins providing recommendations to new approaches, techniques and/or practices Maintain a well-documented laboratory notebook Cerate an action plan with project deliverables with high-level guidance Track progress against project timelines, generate regular status updates, and communicate progress and issues to management, including presentation of findings at team meetings Independently coordinate delivery of materials both internally and externally Requirements MS in Chemistry or related field (minimum 2 years of relevant laboratory experience) or BS in Chemistry with 5+ years of experience Experience with synthetic organic chemistry Excellent verbal and written communication skills Strong problem-solving skills Eagerness to learn new techniques Preferred Experience working with small molecule or large molecule synthetic targets either in an academic or industrial setting Basic familiarity with GLP/GMP regulations Experience with small-molecule or macromolecule analytical techniques (e.g., HPLC, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, mass spectrometry, NMR, etc.) Wisconsin pay range $80,000-$90,000 USD Arrowhead provides competitive salaries and an excellent benefit package.
