Postdoctoral Fellowship : Boston , MA, United States

Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital Postdoctoral Positions – Stem

Cell/Genome Editing/Neurodegeneration

One postdoctoral position is available in the Khurana laboratory (khuranalab.bwh.harvard.edu) at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital.

The Khurana laboratory uses cutting edge stem cell, genome-editing and in situ proteomic techniques to study the protein-misfolding pathologies that underlie neurodegenerative disease (Chung, Khurana et al. Science 2013; Khurana, Peng, Chung et al. Cell Systems 2017; Khurana and Jarosz Cell 2017).

We now have an opening for a postdoctoral Fellow to push forward our efforts to genetically and physically map interactions of misfolded proteins in patient-derived neurons. We are keen to attract motivated, open-minded and collaborative applicants with experience in advanced cell culture and molecular biology techniques. Human stem cell experience, genome editing experience and solid biochemistry background would be advantageous.

We strive for impactful science in a collaborative and collegial environment. We consider career development in basic science and translational medicine core to our mission. Our postdoctoral fellows will fully benefit from the deep connections to premier academic labs, hospitals and biotech companies that we have established in the extraordinary Boston biomedical environment. The lab is located in the new Building for Transformative Medicine, housing state-of-the-art laboratory and clinical facilities adjacent to Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Our salary and benefits package will be highly competitive and commensurate with the cost of living. Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School are Equal Opportunity Employers. Please email a cover letter, your CV, and contact details for three references to Vik Khurana MD PhD (vkhurana@bwh.harvard.edu) and Joan Swan (jhswan@rics.bwh.harvard.edu).
