HMS - Postdoctoral Fellow in Cell Biology in Cambridge, Massachusetts at Harvard University

We invite applicants for a postdoctoral fellow position in the Wolfson lab at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. Our lab studies the sensory innervation of our internal organs that mediate internal sensations (or interoception). We use a combination of biochemistry, genetics, neuroanatomy, electrophysiology, and mouse behavior to define the roles that internal organ innervating sensory neurons play in physiologic and pathophysiologic processes.

The successful candidate will work with Dr. Rachel Wolfson to develop a research project within the scope of the lab focus. In addition to carrying out research, the successful candidate will be expected to apply for fellowship funding, contribute to the writing of grants and manuscripts, participate in teaching and mentoring of lab members, and contribute to overall lab operations and a collaborative environment.

With this appointment, you are represented by the Harvard Academic Workers (HAW) – UAW for purposes of collective bargaining and matters affecting your compensation and working conditions.

If visa sponsorship is needed, Harvard retains the discretion to determine which visa status is appropriate and whether a visa sponsorship application will ultimately be submitted, including payment of any applicable fees.

Please submit application documents through the ARIeS portal. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. Selected candidates will be invited for in-person interviews involving a research presentation on past work.
