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.

Postdoctoral Researcher
Researcher job in Milwaukee, WI
As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will, according to the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), be an individual who has received a doctoral degree (or equivalent) and is engaged in a temporary and defined period of mentored advanced research training to enhance the professional skills and research independence needed to pursue his or her chosen career path. In addition, according to the National Postdoc Association (NPA), Postdoctoral appointees can pursue basic, clinical or translational projects so long as their primary effort is devoted toward their own scholarship. Postdocs are essential to the scholarly mission of the mentor and host institution and thus are expected to have the freedom to publish the results of their scholarship.
The DREAM (Developing Resilience to Ease Anguish in Mourning) Lab, led by Dr. Joseph Goveas within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join our multidisciplinary neuroimaging research team. Our lab's mission is to uncover neurobiological biomarkers predictive of Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) onset and treatment response. With an extensive longitudinal dataset already collected, including multimodal MRI (e.g., resting-state connectivity, DTI, quantitative morphometry, task-induced BOLD activation, cerebral blood flow), along with detailed clinical and behavioral data, we are scaling up analytic efforts to answer fundamental questions about how grief unfolds over time-especially in older adults-and what differentiates resilient adaptation from PGD.
Current projects include developing predictive models of chronic grief outcomes in acutely grieving adults, characterizing the heterogeneity in grief trajectories, and investigating how targeted interventions modulate brain networks and relate to clinical improvement in PGD.
The Fellow will contribute to the development of computational brain models of grief and resilience in older adults, participating in multiple projects that employ advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques to investigate brain network mechanisms underlying diverse grief trajectories, including adaptive (resilient) responses and complications such as PGD. This position also offers a unique opportunity to work with rich, multimodal longitudinal datasets from both acutely and chronically grieving adults.
It is expected that postdocs at MCW, with the assistance of their supervisor, will:
Transition to career independence through the development of professional skills that enable the postdoc to actively pursue a career of their own choosing.
Be supervised by at least one senior scholar who actively promotes the postdoc's professional development.
Establish an individual development plan (IDP) that incorporates equally the postdoc's career and training goals and the mentor's research goals.
Pursue basic, clinical, or translational projects so long as effort is focused primarily on research.
Publish results of the postdoc's research and scholarship during their appointment.
The postdoctoral appointment is temporary by nature, the aggregate amount of time spent as a postdoc is recommended to not exceed five years (not including family medical leave or maternity/paternity leave).
As postdocs are important members of the host institution's community, appropriate levels of compensation, health care, and other benefits commensurate with their essential status should be afforded, independent of the postdoc's source of funding.
Responsibilities:
Perform advanced computational analyses on longitudinal brain imaging and behavioral datasets.
Design, implement, and refine innovative neuroimaging data processing pipelines.
Report to the Principal Investigator and closely collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across the Center for Imaging Research, Neuroscience Center, and departments of Psychiatry, Biophysics, and Radiology.
Lead manuscript preparation and contribute to high-impact scientific publications.
Engage in regular meetings with the PI and research team to interpret findings and optimize methodologies.
Attend and present at scientific conferences.
Knowledge - Skills - Abilities
Programming experience is required. Prior experience performing neuroimaging analysis is strongly preferred.
Programming: Proficiency in Python is required. Experience working in Linux environment and writing Bash scripts is also expected.
Neuroimaging Analysis: Programming and prior experience with neuroimaging data analysis is required.
Statistical Analysis: Solid foundation in statistical modeling and data analysis is required. Experience with longitudinal modeling, machine learning methods, subgroup analysis, or other advanced modeling techniques is highly desirable.
Software Proficiency: Experience with neuroimaging tools such as AFNI, SPM, FSL, Freesurfer, or similar is a plus.
Communication: Strong presentation skills with the ability to clearly communicate complex scientific concepts.
Scientific Literacy: Excellent English reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension skills in scientific contexts.

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.

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
Under the direction of a Principal Investigator, further develops and expands understanding of scientific theory in his/her area of interest. Incumbent also learns and applies scientific laboratory techniques and gains experience in other areas of research that will lead to increased probability of success as an independent scientist. This is a training position with an expected duration of 1 - 3 years.
At the crossroads of metabolism, immunity, and aging
The Xian lab's long-term goal is to enhance immune therapies by uncovering how mitochondrial stress activates the immune system. We focus on how mitochondria-released danger signals-known as danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)-shape immunity. In particular, we study circulating oxidized mitochondrial DNA (Ox-mt DNA), that rises with aging and correlates with autoimmune, metabolic, and neurodegenerative disorders. By defining these pathways, we aim to translate basic discoveries into new diagnostics and therapies for autoimmunity, aging-related conditions, and cancer.
Our recent work revealed that Ox-mt DNA controls the transition from inflammation to autoimmunity, through direct communication between plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. This finding opens two central questions for our lab:
Do pDCs present self-antigens to activate Tfh cells in autoimmune disease?
Are Tfh cells pathogenic in aging and neurodegenerative conditions where circulating Ox-mt DNA is elevated?
To address these questions, we combine human and mouse models with approaches in immunology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and bioinformatics. Through this integrated strategy, we will define the molecular mechanisms of immune pathogenesis and ultimately develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for autoimmunity, neurodegeneration and cancer.

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.
