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.

Job Summary
Northeastern University's Roux Institute and the Institute for Experiential AI (IEAI) are seeking applications and nominations for postdoctoral researchers based at Roux in Portland, Maine, USA.
The selected researchers will be aligned with the AI for Climate and Sustainability (AI4CaS) focus area within IEAI and will get an opportunity to work closely with one or more faculty and with the private-public-government sector experiential partners. The cohort expects to fund up to five postdoctoral researchers in knowledge-centric and human-focused AI. The five thematic areas, as well as the core hiring and mentoring committee, are described below.
Themes: The cohort of five is envisaged to comprise hires in the following five thematic areas:
1. Theme 1 (“Nowcasting”): Hybrid Physics-AI for Short-term Weather and Hydrologic Prediction
Skillful predictions of weather and hydrology in the short-term (few hours to a few days) are difficult owing to model and data limitations, the importance of extremes and anomalies, as well as the need to appropriately blend physics with AI.
2. Theme 2 (“Downscaling”): Physics-Guided AI for Climate or Earth System Model Downscaling Global climate and earth system models yield massive simulations at low space-time resolutions and are subject to uncertainties resulting from human and natural systems as well as intrinsic variability. The need to translate to variables and scales relevant for stakeholders with appropriate uncertainty quantification requires physics-guided AI.
3. Theme 3 (“Human AI”): Knowledge-Integrated Human-Centered AI for Climate Resilience
AI and data science systems that are guided by human knowledge or help guide models can generate insights and metrics from massive volumes of complex data obtained from model simulations and/or remote and in-situ data. Stakeholder knowledge, such as, of cascading interdependence, can ground the models through knowledge graphs, rules, and
process understanding, with implications across sectors from ecology to infrastructure.
4. Theme 4 (“Communities”): Green and Resilient Communities and Entrepreneurship
Communities ranging from microspatial neighborhood or street levels to the scale of villages, towns, and cities, all the way to megaregions, continents, and the globe, need an entrepreneurial mindset, often with AI as one tool of choice, for targeted or frugal innovations to ensure resilience to compound extremes, assure clean water or air, prevent cascading failures across interconnected systems, and adapt to or mitigate global change.
5. Theme 5 (“Renewables”): Energy Storage Systems and Sustainable Renewable Energy
Energy storage systems and renewable energy infrastructures are critical for anticipating, preparing for, and mitigating weather and hydrological extremes, as well as to develop effective decarbonization strategies. The possible role of AI ranges from predictive models of solar insolation and wind variables to understanding and monitoring the water and carbon cycle, as well as for developing actionable strategies and scenario plans.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Research technician 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)
* Strong record of publications
* Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a fast-paced and innovative setting
