About this position
Harvard Medical School is advertising a Postdoctoral Fellow in Cell Biology in the Harper lab in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
The lab works at the intersection of protein and organelle quality control, the ubiquitin system, and autophagy, with a strong focus on how these pathways shape neurodegenerative disease. Research themes include molecular pathways involved in organelle repair after damage, especially the endolysosomal system and mitochondria, as well as protein interaction networks in dynamic organelles and how familial mutations contribute to diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
The position is with Dr. Wade Harper, who will work with the selected candidate to develop a project within the lab’s research scope.
