About this position
Harvard Medical School invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow position in the Wolfson lab in Boston, Massachusetts. The lab studies the sensory innervation of internal organs and the neural mechanisms of interoception, the internal sensations generated by the body.
Working with Dr. Rachel Wolfson in the Department of Cell Biology, the postdoctoral fellow will develop an independent research project within the lab’s focus. The research investigates how sensory neurons that innervate internal organs contribute to normal physiological functions and disease-related processes.
The Wolfson lab combines biochemistry, genetics, neuroanatomy, electrophysiology, and mouse behavior. The research environment also supports approaches including functional imaging, gene editing, cell engineering, and structural biology. In addition to conducting research, the fellow will contribute to grant and manuscript writing, teaching and mentoring lab members, fellowship-funding applications, and collaborative lab operations.
The appointment is based at Harvard Medical School and is expected to begin around March 15, 2027, with some flexibility.
