We have a fantastic postdoc opportunity for you! This is Dr. Yaara Erez of the Faculty of Engineering and the Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center at @BarIlanU @YaaraErez runs the Erez Lab, as she explains below: "Our research is in the intersection of neuro-engineering and cognitive neuroscience. We integrate neural data from multiple modalities such as MRI and electrocorticography to understand how functional brain networks are organized and how individual-unique patterns of network activity dynamically change in health and disease. We aim to combine science and technology to understand basic neural mechanisms as well as for developing tools and methods for clinical applications." Dr. Erez is looking to work with international postdocs! If interested, you can contact her directly using the link to our Supervisor Database, here: postdocisrael.com/profile/yaara-… You can also find hundreds of other top researchers across many different fields in the database. They all have positions available! Find your postdoc in Israel today!

This international postdoc opportunity is now available! Meet Dr. Shira Raveh-Rubin of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at @WeizmannScience. Shira also leads the Dynamical Meteorology research group, which seeks to answer such questions as: Which mechanisms govern day-to-day weather variability? Why do some weather events become extreme? How do weather systems interact across scales (10^7 – 10^2 m)? How predictable are high-impact events? Dr. Raveh-Rubin and her team aim to provide answers by applying theories, analyzing large datasets, and developing novel diagnostic tools and model experiments. Shira has positions available for international postdocs! If you are interested in working with her, you can contact her using the link to our Supervisor Database: postdocisrael.com/profile/shira/ In fact, the database contains details and contact info for hundreds of leading Israeli scholars across dozens of fields.

Dr. Kirti Sankhala of @iitjodhpur has dedicated her professional career to harnessing the power of nanofiltration, in the hopes of solving issues of regional water scarcity. In nanofiltration, water is forced through microscopic pores to filter out contaminants at a molecular level. The pores in these membranes are between one and 10 nanometres in size (for comparison, a human hair is 100,000 nanometres across). In some places, concerns about cleanliness must be addressed because water travels through agricultural fields, small settlements or ancient pipes, picking up contaminants on its journey. “We all want a safe glass of water,” adds Sankhala, who was an Azrieli International Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the @TechnionLive in 2021 and 2022. “We want high purity — the rejection of contaminants that are a health threat — and at the same time we also want high productivity, which means generating more clean water using less energy and time.” Working with the Azrieli Fellows Program was a highlight of her time conducting research at the Technion. “The efforts they put in for us are so impressive,” she says. “It’s not only about the funding — the bond between Azrieli members is so strong, and you know that everyone is really there to support you.” You can read more about @kirti_sankhala’s research here: azrielifoundation.org/aperio-magazin…

What is an “emotional destination”? Just like preparing for a physical journey, when it comes to our emotional state, we also need to evaluate where we currently are emotionally and how far away we are from our desired position. We must invest effort and resources to be where we want to be emotionally. In a fascinating lecture, Dr. Danfei Hu of @HebrewU explains what this can mean for people who suffer from depression.

Here is a great postdoc opportunity, on the shores of the Red Sea! This is Professor Yeala Shaked of @HebrewU. Yeala runs the Shaked Lab at the Earth Sciences & Interuniversity Institute. The institute is located in the beach city of Eilat. The lab is devoted to marine biogeochemistry. Prof. Shaked explains what they work on here: “As an aquatic biogeochemist, my interest revolves around the interactions between organisms and their environment, with emphasis on trace metal bioavailability to phytoplankton and redox transformations. I am intrigued by the fact that microorganisms, striving to acquire nutrients and protect themselves from external stressors, actively modify their chemical milieu and in turn influence the biogeochemical cycles of trace and major elements in the ocean. I study fundamental processes and mechanisms by combining field and laboratory measurements and experiments.” Yeala is among hundreds of leading Israeli researchers who have positions available for international postdocs! You can contact her today through the link to our Supervisor Database: postdocisrael.com/profile/yeala/ If you have a different field of study, you can also easily use the database to find other top researchers.

Our goal is to reveal basic mechanisms of epigenetic deregulation in cancer, identify epigenetic vulnerabilities of cancer cells, and pave the way to new therapeutic opportunities that would benefit patients.” Would you be interested in working with Dr. Shema? @ShemaEfrat is now looking for international postdocs!
