Postdoctoral Fellow
Harvard University
Application
Details
Posted: 04-Jul-25
Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Internal Number: 13759
School: Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Department/Area: Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology
Position Description:
We seek a recently completed Ph.D. in the fields of developmental and/or regenerative neurobiology, neuronal cell biology, and/or nervous system disease involving the cerebral cortex to join an ongoing research program focusing on the developmental, degenerative, and regenerative biology of the cerebral cortex, employing both mice as a genetic model and limited work with human iPSC-derived cortical like neurons. We are particularly interested for this position in projects involving subcellular soma, growth cone, and synapse biology potentially underlying ALS, and in subcellular growth cone biology in activated regeneration after spinal cord injury in mice.. This position offers full funding for a two-year period for work within the scope of recent publications from the laboratory as defined by our series of recent publications and bioRxiv preprints. Salary is in the range of $67,600 per year, depending on whether a recently defended graduate or already with 1 year of postdoc experience in the Ph.D. lab. The position offers full Harvard benefits.
Basic Qualifications:
Ph.D. or M.D-Ph.D. (or equivalent) scientists with a strong relevant background. The Postdoctoral Fellow should have working knowledge of in vivo mouse molecular-genetic approaches, mouse cortical immunocytochemical analyses, circuit concepts, transcriptomic (and potentially proteomic) bioinformatics, small input RNA-seq, and high-level imaging, as well as research background in related studies. Junior applicants, such as recent Ph.D. graduates with 0 or 1 years of postdoctoral experience are preferred.
Additional Qualifications:
Experience drafting, editing, submitting, revising, and publishing in high-tier to top-tier journals, including preparation and conceptualization of top level figures, schematics, and presentation slides.
