Job_Duties: The successful candidate will be expected to support the diagnostic and scientific research collaboration program between the University of Wisconsin the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, and be located primarily at DIII-D. The program is focused on the understanding of turbulent transport processes in plasmas, contributes to investigations of other instabilities (e.g., MHD, Alfven Eigenmodes, ELMs), and develops and operates advanced optical diagnostics for studying plasma fluctuations. Responsibilities include operation of the diagnostic system for experiments, performing calibration, maintenance and upgrades, as well as pursuing specific scientific research projects relating to turbulence-driven transport in plasmas. Diagnostic work will benefit from familiarity with visible spectroscopy, high-speed electronics, data acquisition, and control systems (LabView experience helpful). Research will benefit from familiarity with fluctuations and turbulence in magnetically-confined plasmas (IDL experience helpful). Candidates will be expected to pursue research independently, analyze results, publish in respected scientific journals and present results at scientific conferences. This position will require working and collaborating with scientists, faculty, graduate students and technical personnel.

Job_Duties: A Postdoctoral Fellowship position is available immediately for study of extracellular regulatory proteins that govern development, homeostasis and pathologies via effects on matrix formation and the activation of growth factors. Studies also include autoimmunity against certain ECM components in human disease. Molecular biology, cell biology, knockout and conditional knockout mouse approaches and zebrafish-based analyses are all currently being employed towards these studies in the lab. Focuses are presently on extracellular proteinases and other proteins that modulate proteinase activity, inhibition and activation of TGFbeta superfamily members, novel extracellular regulatory proteins, growth factor-matrix interactions, and ECM autoimmunity. This is an opportunity to join a highly productive laboratory at one of the foremost biological research campuses in the U.S., the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
