School: Harvard Medical School

Department/Area: Cell Biology

Position Description

The Gygi lab in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School is searching for an Associate. Responsibilities will include:

Training in the area of mass spectrometry-based proteomics will be received.
Independent research will be performed with a goal of producing a publication surrounding work performed in the interactome pipeline.

Participation in the planning and execution of interactome pipeline research will be performed;

and manuscript writing will occur.

Associate will select their own independent research project. For more than 8 years, the lab has been systematically collecting protein-protein interaction data. There are many thousands of human genes for which we now have some idea about its biological role. This individual will create a research plan around illuminating the function of a human gene where little to nothing was previously known about its role in human health and disease.

This position will also interact with other labs in the Department of Cell Biology depending on the research project selected. There is the possibility to work with hospital labs if their expertise in the subject area is needed.

This position is a stepping stone for those interested in being trained for future work in graduate or medical school in the area of protein-protein interactions work.

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.

Basic Qualifications

BS in Chemistry or Biology or a related field.

Additional Qualifications

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.

Special Instructions

Required documents:

Curriculum Vitae
Statement of Research for work
Cover Letter describing your interest in the lab and initial ideas for new research directions or projects you could undertake in the lab.
A NOTE with names and contact information for 2-3 people who have agreed to serve as your reference

Please submit application documents through the ARIeS portal. Applications will be considered on September 25, 2026. Selected candidates will be invited for in-person interviews involving a research presentation on past work.

Expected Dates

Application deadline: September 25, 2026
Start date: The position is expected to start on or around October 15, 2026 with some flexibility.
Duration: This is a one-year term position from the date of hire, with the possibility of extension, contingent upon work performance, business need, and continued funding to support the position.
