TitlePostdoctoral Fellow Whipple Lab
SchoolFaculty of Arts and Sciences
Department/AreaMolecular and Cellular Biology
Position Description
A postdoctoral position is available in the Whipple Laboratory at Harvard University to
study epigenetic regulation in the mammalian brain. Our research focuses on genomic
imprinting—an epigenetic phenomenon in which genes are expressed in a parent-of-
origin–specific manner—and its critical roles in brain development, growth, behavior, and
learning. The significance of imprinted genes is underscored by the diverse neural and
behavioral phenotypes associated with their dysregulation.
The successful candidate will investigate the molecular mechanisms that establish and maintain genomic
imprinting and define the functions of imprinted non-coding RNAs in neurophysiology
and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Basic Qualifications
Applicants must have recently obtained a Ph.D. in a relevant field and demonstrated research productivity through peer-reviewed publications.
The candidate should possess excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey complex scientific concepts.
A strong interest in neurobiology, gene regulation, and/or computational biology is required.


Additional Qualifications
Special Instructions
Letters of recommendation are not required at the time of application; however, letters will be collected for finalists. Candidates should submit with their application contact information for two to three references from experts at the ladder faculty ranks or highly accomplished senior researchers from corporations of research institutes.
