Heat Stress and Strategies for Adaptation in Coastal Informal Settlement Communities
Faculty in the Stanford School of Medicine are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join a project characterizing heat stress in coastal informal settlement communities and develop, implement, and test strategies for adaptation.
Opening for Postdoctoral Fellow in Infectious Disease Modeling and Causal Inference: Impact of Nonpharmaceutical Interventions on COVID-19 outcomes
We are recruiting one or two postdoctoral scholars to work on a project at the intersection of causal inference, behavior, and infectious disease modeling. The primary advisor is Prof. Marc Lipsitch in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Geographic Medicine, Stanford School of Medicine, with co-advising by Dr. Mathew Kiang, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology.
Precision mapping of vector borne diseases using deep learning & high resolution remote sensing data
The epidemiology of ultrafine particles emitted from gas appliances
I am an infectious diseases physician and epidemiologist OUr lab is well know internationally in two major areas: 1. The role of infections in chronic diseases and 2. Physiologic changes in humans over time, specifically the decrease in human body temperature. 3. Novel surveillance projects, especially serosurveys done through the mail and the use of wastewater to track infections. Right now, projects that could integrate a post-doctoral fellow include: In addition, my research group works on gun violence prevention.
Dr. Parsonnet is an Infectious Diseases epidemiologist and clinician. The Parsonnet lab works to understand how infectious agents influence the development of chronic diseases. During the COVID crisis, the lab has also been actively involved in a wide range of investigations of this disease ranging from large seroepidemiologic studies to novel treatment trials to collaborative studies on COVID immunology. Studies that could potentially take a fellow include:
Our basic research program focuses on understanding the roles of virus-host interactions in viral infection and disease pathogenesis via both molecular and systems virology/immunology single cell approaches. This program is combined with translational efforts to apply this knowledge for the development of broad-spectrum host-centered antiviral approaches to combat emerging viral infections, including dengue, encephalitic alphaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 and Ebola, and means to predict disease progression.
My lab is focused on understanding host-pathogen interactions with a particular focus on innate immune responses. We apply omics approaches to dissect these interactions, performing in vivo profiling and building in vitro systems to define host-pathogen interactions. We have a particular passion for understanding the mechanisms by which NK cells recognize and respond to pathogens. We currently have projects evaluating immunity to SARS-CoV-2, HIV, influenza, and tuberculosis.

Dr. Luby’s research group is engaged in several efforts to generate knowledge that will alter the way that bricks are manufactured across South Asia so that they generate less air pollution, less climate change and tens of thousands fewer deaths per year. This involves: 1) evaluating interventions to improve combustion efficiency within brick kilns and so simultaneously reduce coal costs for producers while generating less pollution 2) using remote sensing to specify the location of brick kilns and ultimately evaluate their emissions.
