Northeastern University 4.5
Research internship job in Portland, ME
About the Opportunity
The Roux Institute at Northeastern University (NU) and the Jackson Laboratory (JAX) are seeking a ‘co-mentored' postdoctoral fellow as part of a new JAX/Roux Institute joint Applied Data Science Postdoctoral Fellowship program. Under this program, the postdoctoral trainee will be co-mentored by NU and JAX researchers working on “Grand Challenges” identified by Roux and JAX executive leadership. These Grand Challenges are jointly selected programs that enhance the JAX/Roux partnership, align with each institution's strategic priorities, and integrate biological and data science.
This cycle's grand challenge focus is on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias.
The position will be located at The Roux Institute at Northeastern University, in Portland, Maine, where JAX has a co-located JAX Portland research site.
The postdoc will contribute to and help lead projects related to the development and validation of models in the precision health domain that aim at diagnosing various types of disease and recommending optimal treatments for patients. The position will be supervised by Research Professors and will be conducted with experimental researchers who are collaborating partners of the Roux Institute and will include opportunities for collaboration with other faculty at the Roux Institute and other colleges at Northeastern University.
This project will involve Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and the cerebrovascular deficits that occur prior to hallmark pathologies such as amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles of TAU, neuronal dysfunction and cognitive decline. Tracking cerebrovascular health in at-risk, but cognitively normal individuals will greatly facilitate early detection of those most at risk of developing dementia, allowing the opportunity for early intervention. We are performing complementary human and mouse studies to evaluate plasma biomarkers in combination with retinal vascular health as biomarkers for ADRD. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join this exciting collaborative research program that builds upon existing strengths in ADRD biology and genetics (JAX) and bioinformatics methods and machine learning approaches (Roux) to evaluate novel biomarkers for ADRD.
Minimum Qualifications
- PhD in computer science, engineering, bioinformatics, biomedical data science, or related field
- Familiarity with genomic and bioinformatic databases
- Experience in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) particularly in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV)

However, the magnitude and variability of these fluxes in the Gulf of Maine are still not well understood. Here, using a combination of lab measurements, field sampling, and numerical modeling, the Postdoctoral Research Associate will dive deeper into the role of forage fish fecal pellets in the Gulf of Maine (regional production, sinking speed, and degradation rates), to obtain estimates of fish-mediated gravitational export and its spatio-temporal variations.
The successful candidate will have a background in marine ecology and/or biological oceanography, and a deep understanding of marine carbon cycling and biological processes. The candidate should have experience in numerical modeling and/or statistical analysis, should be able to work relatively independently, and must demonstrate a strong record of producing high-quality scientific manuscripts.

Demonstrated experience and fluency in relevant programming languages (e.g., R).
Strong written and oral communication skills, as evidenced through publications in the peer reviewed scientific literature and presentation of results to a variety of audiences.
Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
Eligible to work in the United States.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Biological Oceanography
Gulf of Maine Research Institute 3.6
Research internship job in Portland, ME
Full-time Description
JOB TITLE: Postdoctoral Research Associate in Biological Oceanography
SUPERVISOR: Dr. Jérôme Pinti
Pay Grade: 7
Starting Salary Range: $64,000-$69,000
The Gulf of MaineResearch Institute (GMRI) develops and delivers collaborative solutions to global ocean challenges. We are dedicated to the resilience of the Gulf of Maine ecosystem and the communities that depend on it. To learn more, visit gmri.org.
GMRI is currently seeking applicants for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Biological Oceanography Lab. The Postdoctoral Researcher will work under the supervision of Dr. Jérôme Pinti and collaborate with a team of scientists at GMRI and other institutions to examine the role of fish in the Biological Carbon Pump in the Gulf of Maine.
Fish-mediated flux (i.e., respiration, fecal pellets, and carcasses) is now widely recognized to account for a substantial part of total carbon export (between 10 and 30% of the export, depending on regions). However, the magnitude and variability of these fluxes in the Gulf of Maine are still not well understood. Here, using a combination of lab measurements, field sampling, and numerical modeling, the Postdoctoral Research Associate will dive deeper into the role of forage fish fecal pellets in the Gulf of Maine (regional production, sinking speed, and degradation rates), to obtain estimates of fish-mediated gravitational export and its spatio-temporal variations.
The successful candidate will have a background in marine ecology and/or biological oceanography, and a deep understanding of marine carbon cycling and biological processes. The candidate should have experience in numerical modeling and/or statistical analysis, should be able to work relatively independently, and must demonstrate a strong record of producing high-quality scientific manuscripts. The incumbent is encouraged to explore other projects and proposals in line with his interests and expertise, the interests of the Biological Oceanography Lab, and contributing to GMRI's Strategic Plan.
The preferred start date is May 1, 2026 or earlier. The position will be located primarily at GMRI (************* in Portland, ME; occasional travel is anticipated for field work, meetings, or conferences. The initial appointment is for one year, renewable depending on availability of funding.
Responsibilities:
Perform research on the Biological Carbon Pump in the Gulf of Maine, aligned with the Biological Oceanography's goals and GMRI's Strategic Plan.
Contribute to the effective operation of the Biological Oceanography Lab by assisting the Principal Investigator (Dr. Pinti) with research execution, project coordination, and laboratory responsibilities.
Mentor an undergraduate summer intern during the summer.
Taken part in field work and other activities of the Biological Oceanography Lab as appropriate.
Contribute to and lead proposals to support later stages of research.
Synthesize and share results in peer-reviewed scientific papers and at scientific conferences.
Other General Responsibilities:
Participate in project team meetings and workshops.
Participate in lab and GMRI staff meetings and activities.
Requirements
Required Qualifications:
Ph.D. in a relevant discipline, such as biological oceanography, marine ecology, fisheries biology, fisheries ecology, applied mathematics, statistics, or another field that demonstrates a strong quantitative background (e.g., modeling, spatial statistics, time-series analysis).
Experience with field work including sampling techniques (e.g., zooplankton or fish sampling), small boat operation, and the ability to work off hours and in variable conditions as needed.
Demonstrated experience and fluency in relevant programming languages (e.g., R).
Strong written and oral communication skills, as evidenced through publications in the peer reviewed scientific literature and presentation of results to a variety of audiences.
Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
Eligible to work in the United States.
Other Preferred Qualifications:
Experience working on the Biological Carbon Pump.
Experience crafting grant proposals.
