Postdoctoral Fellow in Experimental Biology: Epigenetic characterization of neurodevelopment and related neurological disorders using mouse models and cell culture systems
Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow
Research Area: Epigenetic characterization of neurodevelopment and related neurological disorders using mouse models and cell culture systems
Location: Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS)
Eligibility/Qualification:
Ph.D. in neurobiology/molecular genetics/epigenetics or similar fields and a strong publication record;
experience or high capacity to learn mammalian cell culture, induced pluripotent stem cell (PSC) modeling, various bulk or single-cell “omic” assays (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, DNA-me, proteomics), and molecular genetic techniques;
experience in rodent colony management and behavioral assessments preferred; excellent interpersonal skills
Job Description: Conduct epigenomic studies using neuronal differentiation system and/or patient-specific IPSC differentiation models; perform epigenetic, neuro-immune, and behavioral characterization of mouse models of neurodevelopmental disorders; work with cutting-edge genomic/epigenomic datasets; analyze high-throughput datasets; work in a unique translational genomics environment that integrates epigenomics, developmental biology, neuroimmunology, behavioral studies, and computational biology in advanced molecular genomic laboratories; interact with collaborators within the broader scientific community across different institutions; have appointments to MGH and HMS; have significant independence
