About this position
The Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard is seeking a postdoctoral associate to join the Xavier Lab within the GaMBiT Initiative and the Klarman Cell Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
This interdisciplinary position focuses on how human genetic variants perturb cellular and molecular pathways to cause disease, while also developing computational approaches and functional assays to decipher the chemical language of the microbiota. The work sits at the intersection of genomics, microbiology, immunology, and computational analysis.
The successful candidate will work in a dynamic, highly collaborative research environment and interact with Broad scientists, collaborators, students, postdocs, clinicians, and industry leaders. The role includes contributing to new experimental methods and computational tools, applying novel methods in tissue biology, and helping expand the technical capabilities of the group through creative, independent research.
The position is designed for a researcher with strong publication experience and the ability to contribute to interdisciplinary projects spanning biological, computational, and translational research.
