Behavioral (Eye-tracking, clinical interview), physiology (RSA), and immunology measures (hair and salivary cortisol, inflammatory markers) also included in our research program.&nbsp;</p><p>Opportunities for publication include three main studies:</p><p>The EmoGrow Project: This study followed 4-5 year old children for two years to examine how early temperament predicts the onset of psychopathology and how the parent-child relationship can buffer these negative outcomes.&nbsp; Data collection has finished in the complete sample of 151 children and includes MRI, NIRS, and behavioral methods (parent-child) interaction.&nbsp; This longitudinal data set is available for immediate data analysis and publication.</p><p>The CARE Study: This longitudinal project, which began data collection in winter 2021, is designed to study the biological unfolding of early-life stress (parental conflict) as a precursor to psychopathology.&nbsp; We will employ intensive, state-of-the-art, multi-modal, neurodevelopmental measurement in a sample of 225 4-6 year-old children and their parent, including fMRI, interpersonal neural synchronization between parent and child using fNIRS, facial expression and behavioral coding, hair and salivary cortisol, and measurement of inflammatory markers.&nbsp; The CARE study recruits children experiencing attachment-related stress as a model for the biological unfolding of stress, while also examining external stressors and those that occur throughout the course of the study.&nbsp; In this longitudinal study, families will be followed every 6 months across a 1.5 year time period.&nbsp;</p><p>Parent-to-Child Anxiety Transmission: A new, longitudinal project, which has recently begun, will examine parental transmission of anxiety to preschool children.&nbsp; This project includes fNIRS (parent-child interpersonal neural synchronization), EEG, and behavioral coding and will focus on parent-child interaction and socialization of anxious behaviors through child observation.&nbsp; A sub-aim of the study focuses on anxiety transmission in fathers.</p><p>Additional collaborative studies investigate neural processes underlying emotion regulation in autism spectrum disorder, child overcontrolled temperament and development within the parent-child relationship, neural processes underlying executive function in children experiencing early adversity, and the role of physical pain in predicting pediatric psychopathology.&nbsp; The postdoc will also have ample opportunity to design their own studies and collect a novel data set. The postdoctoral fellow will be an integral member of the scientific team at the Laboratory for Child Brain Development and will have rich opportunities to publish and present at conferences using all available laboratory data.&nbsp; The fellow will also be encouraged and supported to develop supplementary studies via the NIH NRSA and/or K Award mechanisms in addition to smaller foundation grants.&nbsp; The fellow will develop, implement, and disseminate cutting-edge fMRI and fNIRS analysis tools through Dr. Perlman’s Laboratory for Child Brain Development and in collaboration with local and national collaborators.</p><p>The Washington University-St. Louis, Department of Psychiatry provides an ideal training environment for postdoctoral fellows, including the Career and Research Development Seminars designed to promote the professional, career development, and grantsmanship skills necessary to launch an independent career through the NIH K Award mechanism.&nbsp; Wash U is home to a thriving neuroimaging community and is a leader in developmental psychopathology research.&nbsp; St. Louis and the local surrounding areas offer an affordable, diverse, and family-friendly community with rich university resources.</p><p>The Washington University-St. Louis, Department of Psychiatry provides an ideal training environment for postdoctoral fellows, including the Career and Research Development Seminars designed to promote the professional, career development, and grantsmanship skills necessary to launch an independent career through the NIH K Award mechanism.&nbsp;Wash U is home to a thriving neuroimaging community and is a leader in developmental psychopathology research.

Coordinator Field Research - Infectious Diseases

<h4>Job Description</h4><p>Position Summary</p><p>The Kulkarni lab is a NIH-funded laboratory in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Washington University. We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to drive how innate immune responses, such as the complement system, modulate mucosal immunity. The overarching goal of our research program is to determine how epithelial cell-derived proteins can be harnessed to mitigate the risk of acute lung injury in various settings, to ultimately reduce the burden of end-stage lung disease.
