About this position
Harvard Medical School is advertising a Postdoctoral Fellow in Cell Biology in the laboratory of Dr. Marcia Haigis in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
The Haigis lab studies the molecular basis of metabolic regulation in health, aging, and disease. Research themes include discovering new metabolic pathways using metabolomic, biochemical, and genetic approaches, with applications to normal physiology and diseases of aging such as cancer and immune dysfunction. Projects are described as highly collaborative.
The position is intended for a candidate with a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in Cell or Molecular Biology, Chemistry, or a related field. Helpful experience includes mass spectrometry, metabolite profiling, protein purification, biochemistry, genetic screening, mouse physiology, cancer biology, and structural biology.
