About this position
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the Cancelas/Singh Laboratory. The project focuses on hematopoietic stem cell biology and blood formation in health and disease.
Research areas include signal transduction, mitochondrial biology, stem cell aging, inflammation, bone marrow regeneration, clonal hematopoiesis, cancer biology, and interactions between hematopoietic cells and the bone marrow microenvironment. The fellow will use cellular, molecular, genetic, metabolic, imaging, and computational approaches, including ex vivo and in vivo models of normal and malignant hematopoiesis.
Applicants should hold a PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent doctorate in biology, molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, immunology, hematology, cancer biology, or a related discipline, completed within the past two years. A first-author publication, mouse-handling and in vivo research experience, and strong interest in hematopoiesis or stem cell research are expected. Experience with flow cytometry, mouse genetics, mitochondrial biology, imaging, bioinformatics, molecular biology, gene editing, cell culture, or sequencing is advantageous.
The position offers a stated salary range of $72,000–$76,385. Applicants should submit a CV, a brief research statement covering past accomplishments, current interests, and future goals, and contact details for three professional references. The application deadline is December 29, 2026.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent doctoral degree in biology, molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, immunology, hematology, cancer biology, or a related field, received within the past two years. Candidates should demonstrate strong interest in hematopoietic stem cell biology, blood formation, and/or the bone marrow microenvironment, a record of scientific productivity including a first-author publication, and prior experience handling mice and conducting in vivo experiments. Experience with several techniques such as PCR, molecular cloning, viral transduction, gene editing, immunoblotting, mammalian cell culture, colony-forming assays, disease modeling, immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence, multicolor flow cytometry and FACS, and next-generation sequencing library preparation is expected. Excellent analytical, organizational, oral communication, scientific writing, research-data management, and recordkeeping skills are required, along with the ability to conduct self-directed and mentored research, collaborate in multidisciplinary teams, manage multiple responsibilities, and meet deadlines. Preferred experience includes hematopoiesis, stem cell biology, mouse genetics, mitochondrial biology, inflammation, aging, cancer biology, advanced imaging, high-dimensional data analysis, and bioinformatics or statistical analysis using R or Python.
