About this position

Harvard Medical School is advertising a Postdoctoral Fellow position in the del Mármol Lab within the Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology (BCMP) in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

The lab studies the molecular logic of olfaction, with a focus on odorant receptors in arthropods such as mosquitos. The research is highly interdisciplinary and may involve cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), electrophysiology, computational modeling, and behavioral studies to understand odorant recognition, discrimination, and specificity.

The position is intended for recent PhD graduates with backgrounds in biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics, neuroscience, or related fields. The successful candidate will work with Dr. del Mármol to develop an independent project aligned with the lab’s research direction and is expected to contribute to fellowship applications, grants, manuscripts, teaching, mentoring, and general lab activities.

This is a salaried, benefits-eligible postdoctoral appointment. Salary depends on years since PhD, and the appointment is initially for one year with the possibility of extension depending on performance, business need, and continued funding.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants should submit a CV, a summary of PhD research, a cover letter describing interest in the lab and possible research directions, and contact information for three references through the ARIeS portal.
