Postdoctoral Scholar Fellowship Position
Available at Florida State University
A postdoctoral scholar fellowship position is open immediately in the Laboratory of Debra Ann Fadool at Florida State University in the area of Sensory Nutrition to understand how chronic metabolic imbalance/obesity impacts sensory systems. Our research has focused upon changes in diet, exercise, drug intervention, or selective genome editing to reverse the deleterious effects of metabolic imbalance on the nervous system. The laboratory is uncovering how electrical activity of the olfactory bulb (OB) can modify whole body metabolism (see recent manuscripts - https://dfadool.neuro.fsu.edu/publications). Our long-term research goal is to understand how olfaction and metabolism are reciprocally interdependent - to reveal how olfactory output neurons convey metabolic information to endocrine pathways contained in the metabolic axis.

Senior Researcher
Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, Radcliffe Primary Care Building, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG
Applications are invited for a Senior Researcher, to work in a team with Professor Susan Jebb on a research programme to develop new approaches to manage obesity in people with complex eating behaviours as part of the Oxford Biomedical Research Centre.
Our group have developed a range of interventions for weight management aimed at providing treatment on a large scale to many people with obesity and had success translating these innovations into policy and practice. We recognise that many people with obesity have complex relationships with obesity and may not be well-served by these simple behavioural interventions. The aim of this post is to open a new area of work with people with psychological reasons for overeating, which we are calling complex eating behaviours, including binge eating disorder, emotional eating, and compulsive eating. Our aim is that this post is preparatory to a fellowship, and the successful candidate will be given space and support to do sufficient work to make a compelling fellowship application.
The post is embedded in the thriving Health Behaviours team in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences (NDPCHS). The team work on interventions to prevent or treat ill-health by intervening on diet, obesity, and smoking. We have a strong track record of applied research that can benefit patients and lead to changes in the health system.
The successful applicant will make a strategic and scientific contribution to the research programme, by developing original ideas and testable research questions. They will take responsibility for the organisation of scientific and administrative tasks, to efficiently deliver all aspects of their own research from inception, through ethics, fieldwork, analysis and to publication. This will involve working collaboratively with research partners, members of the public with lived experience and other groups contributing to the research programme. They will contribute to new grant applications to expand research in the team, line manage research assistants and co-supervise PhD/DPhil students. The successful applicant will need a PhD/DPhil with post-doctoral research experience in psychology, mental health and/or weight management, a strong scientific track record for your career stage, excellent quantitative skills and sufficient experience of qualitative research to inform intervention development and process analysis.
You will be based in the Radcliffe Primary Care Building or Gibson Building of the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, Radcliffe Primary Care Building, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG as your normal place of work but there may be the opportunity for occasional remote working.
The position is funded by NIHR Oxford University Hospitals Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) until 31st March 2025.
For further information or to discuss the post please contact Jeanette Allsworth [email protected], PA to Prof Jebb
The closing date for applications is noon on Wednesday 10th May 2023

Interaction of GLP-1 and Amylin agonists
A Postdoc position is available at the Institute of Veterinary Physiology, Vetsuisse Faculty University of Zurich.
The massive rise in obesity rates is mainly due to changes in lifestyle, in particular increased caloric intake. Promising emerging therapies rely on the combination of gut hormones and their agonists. To pursue important questions regarding pharmacotherapy using GLP-1 and amylin agonists, we offer an attractive position in a collaborative project with another university in Europe and a US based university. The experimental work of this project will combine in vivo approaches with analyses at the cellular and subcellular level to resolve the mechanisms mediating the actions of GLP-1 and amylin agonists. This project will use a large array of behavioral and state-of-the-art technology such as single cell sequencing, fiber photometry, chemogenetics and brain imaging ex vivo (including brain clearing iDisco) and in vivo imaging studies in animal models.
Starting date: immediately
Duration: 3 years with the possibility for an extension
Salary: according to the salary guidelines of the University of Zurich (starting at approx. CHF 95'000 per year)
