To tackle these questions, we employ genomic technologies, single-cell analyses of human brain tissues, iPSC-derived models, humanized mouse, bioinformatics tools, and genomic/epigenomic/transcriptomic datasets. The lab has ongoing collaborations with labs at Duke as well as with other national and international investigators. The primary goal for this position will be to investigate the underpinnings of how Alzheimer’s GWAS discoveries translate to disease causal mechanisms. The postdoctoral associate will implement cutting-edge technologies in functional genomics, molecular profiling, single-cell analyses, and model systems primarily iPSC gene-edited derived neurons. Additionally, the postdoctoral associate will have the opportunity to pursue complementary projects in the lab at the intersection of molecular genetics and neurodegenerative diseases in aging.   Minimum Qualifications     Education See job description for education requirements.   Experience   See job description for requirements.   Duke is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer committed to providing employment opportunity without regard to an individual's age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.   Duke aspires to create a community built on collaboration, innovation, creativity, and belonging.

Duke University:   Duke University was created in 1924 through an indenture of trust by James Buchanan Duke. Today, Duke is regarded as one of America’s leading research universities. Located in Durham, North Carolina, Duke is positioned in the heart of the Research Triangle, which is ranked annually as one of the best places in the country to work and live. Duke has more than 15,000 students who study and conduct research in its 10 undergraduate, graduate and professional schools. With about 40,000 employees, Duke is the third largest private employer in North Carolina, and it now has international programs in more than 150 countries.   The McHenry lab at Duke is located within the Department of Neuroscience and uses a combination of circuit-based strategies and custom engineered designs to investigate how social information is encoded in neural circuits that regulate motivational and emotional states. The lab is relatively new and in the building stage of initiating the research program and instrumentation.  The immediate project needs are to help set up equipment, programming pipelines for equipment and imaging data, open source systems, and re-vamp the website. This requires computer programing and biomedical engineering related skills.     Required skills and experience: To accomplish the projects below, we need someone who is proficient in computer programming in MatLab and Python and a background with experience in engineering, and configuring microcontrollers boards (including Arduino and https://sanworks.io/shop/viewproduct?productID=1014).    Time needs: The lab seeks to hire someone to work on these projects immediately and for an initial 3 months with the possibility for renewal if other new projects are needed.   Project 1 details: to help configure open source hardware and software using a https://sanworks.io/index.php Bpod module. This is an open control system/platform for precision animal behavior measurement.  The items have already been ordered and partially assembled. For example, we have added the rotary encoder for this system, https://sanworks.io/index.php and are in need of someone to prepare a code, based off of the open source firmware that employs MatLab, and develop a code that is tailored for our needs. https://github.com/sanworks/Bpod_RotaryEncoder_Firmware.  We will also need to configure an already purchased solenoid-based system to deliver small amounts of liquid through a port with this system. The rotatory encoder and sucrose delivery systems will need to be integrated together, via the opensource hardware and software but tailored for this specific configuration.   Project 2 details: to prepare an Arduino based code for the following https://learn.adafruit.com/bluetooth-motorized-camera-slider http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1041408.   Project 3 details: to use the open source code and python, to set up this code for a sample data set in the lab. https://github.com/flatironinstitute/CaImAn.   Other: help set up equipment and computer programs for data processing and imaging.  Help re-vamp and maintain lab website. 3d printing files. Help assist other members in the lab that do not have these skills.   Minimum Qualifications     Education Work requires an Associate's degree in botany, biology, zoology, psychology or other science related scientific field.   Experience   None required above education/training requirement OR AN EQUIVALENT COMBINATION OF RELEVANT EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE   Duke is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer committed to providing employment opportunity without regard to an individual's age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.   Duke aspires to create a community built on collaboration, innovation, creativity, and belonging.
