The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Department of Molecular Biology invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate or more senior research position to work with Professor Jessica Metcalf and Professor Mohamed Donia. The successful candidate will work on the ecology and evolution of acquiring bacterial symbionts. The recent discovery of many long-lasting symbiotic relationships between intracellular bacteria and host species scattered across the tree of life has excitingly extended our understanding of cross-species interactions. Yet, we still lack basic theory as to when and why such relationships emerge. Using a combination of computational analysis of existing gene sequences and mathematical models rooted in evolutionary ecology and mechanistic features of host/bacterial interactions, we aim to characterize settings under which such associations are expected to evolve Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. in quantitative ecology, molecular...

Optimal development of the immune system requires defined environmental input in a spatiotemporally regulated manner. This fundamental process begins in utero in parallel to organogenesis. Numerous epidemiological data suggested that maternal environmental exposure during pregnancy, particularly infection, can shape the offspring's immunity in the long term. During this critical window, the mother also undergoes dramatic immunological changes to nurture and adapt to the semi-allograph fetus. The LIMmunity (Lab of Infant and Maternal Immunity) seeks to establish a mechanistic understanding of how maternal infection impacts offspring's long-term tissue immunity, and reciprocally, how maternal immunity adapt to physiological changes during pregnancy and lactation. Two fully-funded postdoctoral or more senior research positions are available in the LIMmunity to study fundamental maternal-offspring immune crosstalk. The opportunities are ideal for a highly motivated scholar with a...

Each of us harbor biological timers in our bodies known as the circadian clock. These clocks drive physiological processes and behaviors in coordination with the day-night cycle. Recent work has provided evidence that the circadian clock regulates immune functions in coordination with the day-night cycle. However, the underlying mechanisms by which the circadian clock drives rhythms in immunity are ill-defined.  The Brooks lab seeks to mechanistically determine circadian clock regulation of innate immune functions at the intestinal epithelial barrier. Forming the first line of defense, the intestinal epithelium must acquire nutrients from the diet while maintaining harmony with a vast consortium of microorganisms known collectively as the microbiota. Endemic to the epithelium are specialized epithelial and immune cell types that produce antimicrobial proteins, bolster the epithelial barrier, and coordinate immune responses. These fundamental functions of innate immunity are...
