About this position
Harvard Medical School is seeking a postdoctoral fellow for a cell biology project investigating how developmental principles operate in jellyfish. The research is designed for a developmental biologist interested in how cells choose a fate, how signaling influences those decisions, and how cellular choices build organized tissues.
The project will examine which developmental mechanisms are shared between familiar model systems and jellyfish, and which are distinctive to this organism. The fellow will bring expertise from human pluripotent stem-cell differentiation and tissue patterning in C. elegans while developing an understanding of jellyfish biology. The work will connect developmental processes across multiple scales, from extracellular signals and lineage decisions to cell organization, tissue architecture, and overall tissue shape.
Research activities may include perturbing signaling pathways, tracing cell origins, analyzing developmental states with single-cell approaches, and interpreting tissue-level patterns to understand underlying mechanisms. The project also emphasizes extracellular matrix and tissue architecture, ensuring that development is studied beyond the appearance of individual cell-fate markers.
The fellow will work in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School and contribute to a collaborative research environment. Alongside research, the role includes participation in grant and manuscript writing, fellowship-funding applications, teaching and mentoring, and general lab operations.
Funding details
The position is salaried and benefits eligible. Postdoctoral fellow salary is determined by the number of years post-Ph.D.; salary and benefits information is available through the Harvard Medical School postdoctoral guidelines. The appointment is a one-year term from the date of hire, with possible extension contingent on performance, business need, and continued funding.
What's required
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Chemistry, or a related field. Required expertise includes stem cells, lineage tracing, single-cell sequencing, developmental biology, flow cytometry/FACS, microscopy, and working with animals. Applicants should be prepared to apply for fellowship funding, contribute to grant and manuscript writing, teaching and mentoring, lab operations, and a collaborative environment. If visa sponsorship is needed, Harvard will determine the appropriate visa status and whether sponsorship will be submitted.
How to apply
Prepare a CV, cover letter, research summary of PhD work, and a note listing three references with their contact information. Submit the materials through the ARIeS portal; applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and selected candidates will be invited to an in-person interview with a research presentation.
