The Juntti Lab at the University of Maryland is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join our lab studying the genetic and neural pathways that regulate social behavior. We focus on reproductive behaviors in cichlid fish, a diverse and rapidly evolving family that exhibits complex social behaviors. What are the genes that regulate reproductive displays? How do neural ensembles coordinate these behaviors? And, how does evolution give rise to variation in behavior? We use neuroanatomical, molecular genetic, behavioral, and pharmacological methods to discover the mechanisms that link sensory inputs and internal state with behavioral outputs. Broadly, we use insights from sensory systems and endocrinology to discover candidate mechanisms for behavioral regulation, and then manipulate genes and neurons to test their role in behavior or physiology. We regularly manipulate cichlid genomes using CRISPR and transgenics, which enable gene knockouts, calcium imaging, reporter lines, and more. We are committed to a diverse scientific community in all its forms. We seek self-motivated individuals who are creative, hardworking, and team-oriented.

The Zebrafish Neurodevelopment Lab (PI: Julia Ganz) at Michigan State University is recruiting highly motivated PhD students interested in working on the development and regeneration of the nervous system.
In the Ganz Lab (https://www.ganzlab.org/), we are interested in understanding how a complex nervous system is generated from stem/progenitor cells and how regeneration of a nervous system is regulated using zebrafish as our model system. In our lab, we focus on development of the enteric nervous system that innervates the gut and controls important gut function, such as gut motility. We use a variety of molecular (i.e. CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, ATAC-seq, single cell RNA-seq, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry) and imaging techniques (confocal and spinning disk microscope) to identify the signals that stem/progenitor cells require to generate different types of neurons and glia cells in the enteric nervous system. We are also evaluating if the enteric nervous system regenerates and if it does, how that process is regulated.
Possible projects fall within the following research areas in the lab:
How is the generation of neurons, glia cells and different neuronal subtypes regulated in the enteric nervous system?
We are testing candidate genes identified from RNA-seq screens to identify genes and signaling pathways that play a role in regulating neuronal differentiation or in neuronal subtype specification. We then dissect the molecular and cellular basis of their effect on neuronal or glial differentiation or neuronal subtype specification.
How is regeneration in the enteric nervous system regulated?
Using a genetic cell ablation system with spatio-temporal control, we will determine the cellular
responses after targeted neuronal ablation and the regenerative ability of the ENS. Using
molecular and imaging techniques, we will determine how the regenerative process is regulated
– is there a regenerative program or does the regenerative process recapitulate development?
Gene family evolution (shared project with the Braasch Lab at MSU)
In collaboration with the Braasch Lab we tackle the question: what is the role of gen(om)e duplications and gene losses in generating phenotypic diversity? We focus on gene families that play a role in neural crest and nervous system development/function combining developmental analyses with evolutionary approaches.
Our group is part of the Department of Integrative Biology (IBIO) (https://integrativebiology.natsci.msu.edu/), Neuroscience Program (https://neuroscience.natsci.msu.edu/), Reproductive and Developmental Sciences Program (http://rdsp.canr.msu.edu/), and the Cell and Molecular Biology Program (https://cmb.natsci.msu.edu/) and the Genetics Graduate Program (https://www.genetics.msu.edu/) that is part of the BMS program (https://biomolecular.natsci.msu.edu/) at Michigan State University.
MSU IBIO has a strong research commitment to vertebrate biology with a highly collaborative community of groups working on the enteric nervous system, gastrointestinal research, development, stem cells, neuroscience, genomics, and fish evolution, allowing for vibrant exchange among fields, methods and model systems.
Qualifications: Applicants should have training in biology, neurobiology, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, zoology or related fields. Suitable candidates should be enthusiastic about developmental biology and neurobiology. Previous research experience in a relevant area is desired.

Your responsibilities
The main responsibility consists in conducting scientific research in the framework of the lab, which is to investigate novel proteins and pathways that play a role in muscle metabolic dysfunctions that come with aging, with neuromuscular diseases or with muscle wasting (myopathies). We are particularly interested in the role of organelle contacts, such as mitochondria-lipid droplet, mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum, etc.
Mitochondria are key players in muscle metabolism and associated dysfunctions. Finely tuned dynamic modulations adapt the number of these organelles, as well as their function, location and architecture in response to external stimuli. An efficient mitochondrial turnover and interaction with other organelles are crucial to face muscle stimulation, stress, and aging processes.
The proposed project will build on findings that we have made on specific proteins and pathways that could play a role not only in aging, but also in muscular diseases such as myopathies and muscular dystrophies. The project will start on one targeted protein identified as a potentially novel organelle tether. It will entail state of the art methodology based on multidisciplinary approaches, including clinical research, molecular biology, cellular biology and_
_in vivo models. This project will be part of the larger mission to identify new molecular actors and pathways involved in mitochondria structuration, mitophagy and specific organelle contact sites. Developing zebrafish model and human primary muscle cells, we combine innovative tools to explore the functions of our hit candidates.
Of note, we are also open to new research ideas that collaborators wish to bring into the lab.
Funding for the position is available, although application to personal, international fellowship programs will be encouraged.
