Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School

The Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) at Harvard Medical School (HMS) is searching for a postdoctoral research fellow to join our team. Funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA)/National Institute of Health (NIH), we aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying aging in the human brain. A particular emphasis will be placed on RNA-related mechanisms. These mechanisms will be examined in postmortem human brain tissues, and will be validated using in vitro assays and in vivo mouse experiments. Ideal candidates should be self-motivated, able to work independently, and also collaborate effectively as a part of a team. A minimum commitment of 2-3 years is expected, with the possibility of extension as funding is available for longer.

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD in Neuroscience or relevant biomedical field.
• 0-4 years postdoc experience.
• Experience in aging and/or RNA biology.
• Familiarity with spatial transcriptomics, neuronal differentiation of iPSCs, and/or bioinformatics (advantageous, but not mandatory).

Why BIDMC?

• Located in Longwood Medical Area (LMA) in Boston, MA, BIDMC is a renowned teaching hospital of HMS.
• LMA, housing both HMS and BIDMC, stands as a global hub for groundbreaking biomedical research.
• Collaborate with globally recognized leaders in RNA medicine, aging biology and bioinformatics.
• Avail the opportunity to attend seminars hosted by the Harvard Medical School Initiative for RNA Medicine (HIRM), as well as other relevant scientific seminars and conferences.
• Engage with vibrant Postdoctoral communities! Postdoctoral Associations are present at both BIDMC and HMS. If you wish, you have a fantastic opportunity to become an active member.

How to apply?

Interested candidates should send their CV and names of 2-3 references to Dr. Maria Mavrikaki (mmavrika@bidmc.harvard.edu).
