Kellogg Biological Station (KBS), Michigan State University (http://www.kbs.msu.edu). The Janzen Lab leverages long-term population monitoring and expertise in theoretical modeling, quantitative genetics, and experimentation to understand the evolution ecology of a classic polyphenism - temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) - that occurs in many reptiles. In so doing, we also gain insight into phenotypic plasticity relevant to responses of imperiled taxa to anthropogenic habitat/climate change. We seek an experimental molecular biologist to work on collaborative projects exploring TSD as a model for developmental phenotypic plasticity. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the PI and lab team to develop a research program that integrates ‘omics-level analyses with existing expertise to evaluate the evolutionary dynamics of TSD within and across reptile species with differing patterns of sex-ratio response to developmental temperatures. Available lab resources include long-term data and tissues from a wild pedigreed population of turtles with TSD, as well as comparable resources from geographically distant populations. The research could thus include comparisons among years within populations (including across generations), across populations within species, as well as across species, to clarify proximate and ultimate mechanisms underlying observed plasticity in thermal reaction norms in reptiles with TSD. The post-doctoral mentoring philosophy includes providing (1) opportunities for professional development and mentoring of student scholars, (2) time for independent project development, and (3) resources for outreach and activities that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM. The successful applicant will be based at KBS, which hosts a vibrant group of resident faculty, post-docs, and graduate students along with multiple modern shared-use facilities, including a Molecular Ecology and Genomics (MEG) Lab, Pond Lab (experimental ponds, mesocosms, etc.), and Boathouse Research Facility (cutting-edge programmable walk-in environmental chambers and incubators).

    Van Andel Institute 4.9company rating

    Research associate job in Grand Rapids, MI

    Van Andel Institute (VAI), a world-class biomedical research institute, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is dedicated to improving human health. We are pioneers in the fight against cancer, Parkinson's, and other diseases. We are committed to inspiring the next generation of scientists and educators. The Van Andel Institute (VAI) Laboratory of Dr. Adelheid Lempradl and the Laboratory of Andrew Pospisilik, Ph.D. is hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Scientist (depending on qualifications) for a combined research project focusing on dissection of two unique and powerful models of paternal epigenetic inheritance. The labs focus on understanding the epigenetic processes that drive interindividual variability, epigenetic inheritance, developmental programming and thereby disease heterogeneity. We intersect functional fly and mouse genetics, epigenomics, machine learning, human cohort analysis and physiology to define novel disease processes. You will be responsible for establishing and profiling male germline epigenomes and linking those to programming of early embryos of the next generation. Our other projects focus on defining human disease sub-types and disease regulatory modules via machine learning approaches, understanding the molecular architecture that buffers against interindividual susceptibility to disease, and identifying mechanistic insights into how developmental / intergenerational programming underpins human disease. Why choose the Lempradl and Pospisilik Labs: The Lempradl and Pospisilik Labs form a long-standing partnership at the forefront of epigenetics, developmental programming, and disease heterogeneity. Working jointly for more than 14 years, we combine complementary strengths in functional mouse and Drosophila genetics, human big-data analysis, chromatin biology, and systems-level modeling of metabolic and developmental processes. Together, our teams have delivered many firsts in the field: * discovery of chromatin-encoded intergenerational metabolic programming (Cell 2014), * the first demonstration that Trim28-dependent developmental heterogeneity drives alternate obesity and cancer susceptibilities (Cell 2016; Nat Cancer 2025), * identification of human probabilistic disease subtypes using machine learning on twin and cohort data (Nat Metab 2022), and * deconstruction of β-cell epigenetic subtypes relevant to diabetes (Cell Metab 2023). * temporally resolved concomitant single-embryo metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis of early embryo development (Nat Metab 2025) Our laboratories have been recognized internationally with honors including the NIH Director's Transformative Research Award (2021), two European Research Council Grants (Starting 2011; Consolidator 2016), the GSK-Stiftung Prize for Basic Medical Research (2015), the EASD Rising Star Award (2013), and the HeIDI Helmholtz Investigator Award (2016). Dr. Pospisilik also serves on the Editorial Board of Science Advances and is a standing NIH POMD study-section member. Both groups are funded through multi-year NIH, NSF and startup awards (R01 HG012444, R01 DK132216, NSF 2346622 and internal), ensuring strong project support and access to advanced genomic, animal, and computational resources.
