Recruiting faculty for Fulbright University Vietnam

by Raia, Celia

We are helping to create Fulbright University Vietnam (FUV), is a private nonprofit university inspired by the American tradition of liberal education and dedicated to serving Vietnamese society and the world though innovation in teaching, technology and discovery. FUV was announced by President Barack Obama in May 2016. You can read more about the university on the website of the Trust for University Innovation in Vietnam<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.tuiv.org_&d=CwMFAg&…>, the US nonprofit which is supporting FUV. The university enjoys financial support from the United States government and many private donors. FUV is building upon a two-decades long effort by the Vietnam Program at Harvard University to promote institutional innovation in Vietnamese higher education. (You can read about Harvard's involvement in this initiative here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__harvardmagazine.com_201…>.) FUV's flagship academic program is an undergraduate program in engineering and the liberal arts and sciences. We are now recruiting FUV's founding faculty. On February 9 we will be holding a design workshop at the Science Center. Attached is a flyer describing the event. We would be grateful if you could let your graduate students know about the workshop, and about FUV's faculty search. Please do not hesitate to put anyone who is interested in direct touch with us. Many thanks, Ben Wilkinson and Hien Le Ben Wilkinson Executive Director Trust for University Innovation in Vietnam T: (617) 513-4949 bhwilkinson(a)tuiv.org<mailto:bhwilkinson@tuiv.org>

The Curriculum Fellows Program (CFP) is pleased to announce a Curriculum Fellow position in Online Learning in the Department of HMX. Please find all additional information below and attached. The Harvard Medical School (HMS) Office of Online Learning and the Curriculum Fellows Program (CFP) are pleased to announce an opening for a post-doctoral Curriculum Fellow (CF) who will develop a new online Pharmacology course as well as contribute to the development of other online courses. This CF will be an integral member of the team at HMX - an initiative at HMS producing fully online courses that will be offered to students all over the world who may be interested in a variety of health care careers (e.g. medicine or nursing). These courses teach foundational medical topics in a highly applied, engaging, and visual manner. HMX is a fast-paced and highly collaborative team, bringing together the expertise of teaching and learning experts, medical illustrators, videographers, medical professionals, and technologists. If you have insight and expertise in teaching pharmacology, and are a project manager, team player, curious researcher, motivated problem solver, and fearless innovator, this is the job for you. The HMX CF is a member of the Curriculum Fellows Program (CFP), a service and training program designed for early career scientist-teachers who are interested in an academic pathway involving curriculum development, teaching, and educational programming in the biomedical and biological sciences. CFs work with faculty members and staff at Harvard Medical School to design and implement educational innovations within new and existing graduate and medical coursework at HMS. CFs are part of a science education community that integrates pedagogical training into their course- and program-based efforts and provides opportunities to design and conduct educational research projects. CFs receive mentorship and career advising to support their development as educators throughout the duration of the appointment. This CF will focus on the development, improvement, support, and analysis of a high quality online curriculum in the basic medical sciences, with an emphasis on clinically relevant concepts and applications of basic science knowledge in the practice of medicine. Working in an HMX team, the CF will collaborate with faculty to design and develop multimodal online modules. The CF will manage and develop the curriculum for a new Pharmacology course, including videos, problem sets, assignments, and assessments, with the opportunity to take a fresh approach rather than re-purpose existing material.

Postdoc positions in adaptation physiology at the Air Force Research Lab

by Raia, Celia

Greetings, My name is Michael Janney, I am a Sr. Recruiter with Oak Ridge Associated Universities. We just received a request from the Air Force Research Lab seeking two post-doc candidates. Please feel free to share this announcement with anyone that might be interested in applying this great opportunity with AFRL. This appointment is a twelve month appointment and can be renewed up to four additional years. Interested applicants can go to the following website to apply: www.orau.org/maryland<http://www.orau.org/maryland> Project ID: AFRL-1144278543 Best regards, Mike Janney ORAU Sr. Recruiter, DoD Programs 410-618-7981 (Cell) Position- Adaptation Physiology Job Id (Use when Referring to Position): AFRL-1144278543 Job Type: FTP Location: Wright-Patterson AFB OH Experience: PhD Compensation: $50-60K Based on education/experience Job Description: Adaptation Physiology Two post-doc research opportunities are available with the 711th Air Force Research Lab - Human Performance Wing (AFRL-HPW), located in Dayton, OH. U.S. Citizenship is REQUIRED. This opportunity includes, but is not limited to, the following: This opportunity supports the Air Force Research Labs research efforts in advancing our understanding of the biological mechanisms of human performance. The overarching scientific question that drives our research is the following: "How do individuals adapt and what are the biological mechanisms that facilitate adaptation?". This research explores how environmental conditions (stress, exercise, diet, electroceuticals) interact with biological mechanisms to modulate physiological functions. We utilize a variety of techniques (e.g. immunohistochemistry, neurobehavioral assays, brain stimulation, behavioral genetics models, sequencing, bioinformatics) to advance our understanding in this area. The integration of these methods allows us to tackle challenging problems that require multiple skill sets, various disciplines and creative approaches. The primary projects include: 1) the biological signatures of performance; and 2) the biological mechanisms of brain modulation. The first of these projects is focused on the identification of novel biological signatures that are predictive of stress resilience/susceptibility and adaptability. The second project is focused on the identification of the neurobiological pathways by which non-invasive electroceuticals (e.g. transcranial direct current stimulation; tDCS) affect the brain and impact behavior. One of the exciting parts about this work is that brain stimulation is able to induce adaptation factors that result in enhanced synaptic plasticity, giving us an experimental model to test local adaptation mechanisms within the brain that are critical for human performance. Both projects involve rodent models and can involve translational research in human subjects. This position will support current efforts and will also be involved with the design of new experiments to advance the research mission of the Air Force Research Laboratory. Applicants are expected to have a strong background in physiology and research experience in endocrinology, neuroscience and/or molecular biology is preferred. Characteristic duties and responsibilities are listed below. Primary responsibilities: 1. Design and lead the execution of research studies. 2. Propose new research ideas to advance ongoing research projects. 3. Complete wet lab experiments and acquire new techniques and skills to support research team efforts (e.g. RNAseq, synaptoneurosome isolations, exosome characterizations). 4. Analyze data, prepare figures and write manuscripts, proposals, protocols and presentations. Additional responsibilities: 1. Assist with current ongoing research efforts (animal/human studies, wet lab procedures). 2. Conduct literature reviews. 3. Teach lab techniques and procedures to others.
