We use a multimodal approach that combines fluid biomarkers, neuro-ophthalmologic measures, head impact kinematics, and neuroimaging.
A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, to work with Dr. Luis Fernando Chaves. This is a school-funded position for one year that can be renewed for an additional year depending on successful performance. The position includes benefits and compensation that is congruent with NIH stipend levels.

The postdoctoral fellow will join a multi-disciplinary team of epidemiologists, ecologists, modelers, vector biologists, geographers and other social and environmental scientists to do research on the impacts of changing environments on vector-borne diseases. The primary goal of this project is to understand non-linear responses of insect vectors, and the diseases they transmit, to land use / land cover changes and environmental variability, as driven by social, economic and political factors. The ultimate goal is to develop new models that integrate insights and theory from the social sciences into transmission mechanisms or that articulate the impacts of different modes of environmental variability in vector ecology and/or diseases sensitive to environmental change.
About Us: The Chaves lab studies the impacts of environmental change on the ecology of insect vectors and the diseases they transmit. The approach combines both field work and modeling to answer questions about the impact of both rising temperatures and changing environments on vectors and their associated diseases. We also study the coupling of natural and social phenomena in pathogen transmission, primarily looking at political, economic and geographic factors that affect the emergence and transmission of pathogens. In general, our research aims to generate results that can inform decision making aimed at reducing the burden of vector-borne and neglected tropical diseases.

We have a robotic manipulandum (Kinarm Endpoint lab, BKIN) and various custom touchscreen setups for behavioral and perceptual experiments, along with 2D virtual reality displays. For transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we have equipment for single, paired pulse, and repetitive stimulation protocols (Magstim) as well as neuronavigation (Brainsight, Rogue Research) and EMG. The Imaging Research Facility (IRF), located across the street, has a Siemens Prisma MRI system and associated computing system exclusively for research use, as well as a mock MRI scanner for subject training (https://irf.indiana.edu/). The IRF employs a full-time MR physicist and technicians who run the scanner.
Two postdoctoral research fellow positions are available in the Tekwe-Zoh lab at Indiana University, School of Public Health – Department of Epidemiology/Biostatistics, to work on a recently NIDDK-funded R01 project on measurement error, missing data, and unmeasured confounding. The candidates will join a dynamic and collaborative research team led by Drs. Carmen D. Tekwe and Roger S. Zoh in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Indiana University to develop and apply advanced statistical approaches for evaluating device-based measures of physical activity and relationships with nutrition and obesity.
Successful candidates will conduct research on semiparametric and Bayesian nonparametric methods in measurement error, missing data, and functional data. The developed methods will be applied to studies of wearable device–based measures of physical activity and self-reported measures of dietary intake in the context of obesity research. One candidate will be primarily supervised by Dr. Carmen Tekwe and will work on parametric and semiparametric methods of measurement error correction and missing data approaches in functional data, health disparities, nutrition, physical activity, and obesity. The second candidate will be primarily supervised by Dr. Zoh and will work on Bayesian semiparametric and nonparametric methods, high-dimensional data testing, and physical activity assessment. Both candidates will also collaborate with Dr. Lan Xue from the Department of Statistics at Oregon State University.
The candidates are expected to be self-motivated and able to work independently. The duties associated with these positions include statistical programming, authoring, and co-authoring of manuscripts, and participating in research meetings, mentoring of graduate students, and candidates are required to have excellent communication skills. The candidates will also be responsible for the development of R packages and relevant software associated with this research.
