Postdoctoral Fellowship in Systems Physiology at Ribeirão Preto School of Nursing, University of São Paulo (EERP-USP)

Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil

A postdoctoral fellowship is available at the Ribeirão Preto School of Nursing, University of São Paulo (EERP-USP), Brazil, for the FAPESP-funded projectÌýInteraction of the Anti-Inflammatory Reflex and Energy Metabolism in SepsisÌý(Process 2024/16792-8). This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career researcher interested in integrative physiology, inflammation, metabolism, and experimental sepsis.

The selected candidate will join the Laboratory of Physiology and contribute to studies investigating the interaction between inflammatory processes, energy metabolism, and thermoregulation in animal models of sepsis. The project involves in vivo rodent experiments, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), physiological monitoring, collection and processing of biological samples, biochemical and immunological analyses, data analysis, and scientific writing.

Applicants should hold a PhD in Physiology or a related field, in accordance with FAPESP requirements, and have experience in experimental animal studies and related laboratory techniques. Experience with sepsis models, inflammatory and metabolic analyses, and statistical/data analysis tools will be considered an advantage.

Application deadline:Ìý8 May 2026
Start date:ÌýJuly 2026

Postdoctoral Researcher in Time-Resolved Structural Biology | Nogly Lab, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland

Postdoctoral Fellow in RNA Biology & Functional Genomics — National Cancer Institute (NIH), Frederick, MD, USA

A fully funded postdoctoral position is available in the Gonatopoulos-Pournatzis Lab (Functional Transcriptomics Section, RNA Biology Laboratory) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), NIH, in Frederick, Maryland. The lab develops and applies cutting-edge functional genomics and CRISPR screening approaches to dissect the regulation and functional impact of alternative splicing in cancer and other biological contexts. Ongoing work integrates exon-level perturbations with bulk and single-cell transcriptomics to uncover splicing-dependent mechanisms and therapeutic vulnerabilities.

The position offers a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary environment with access to state-of-the-art core facilities and strong opportunities for scientific independence and career development. NIH postdoctoral fellows receive competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits, and extensive training resources.

Applicants should hold (or expect soon) a PhD or MD/PhD in RNA biology, molecular biology, genomics, biochemistry, or a related field, with a strong publication record and interest in RNA biology/functional genomics. Candidates should be able to work independently and communicate effectively in English.

Applications should include a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and contact details for three referees.

Application deadline:ÌýAugust 31, 2026 (or until filled)
Start date:ÌýFlexible
