HMS - Postdoctoral Fellow in Systems Biology

We invite applicants for a postdoctoral fellow position in the Klein lab at Harvard Medical School in Boston Massachusetts. The work of the Klein lab is focused on revealing the molecular and environmental rules governing cell fate decisions in development and cell differentiation. We develop technologies to generate statistical data sets that make these problems tractable, as well as computational tools and laws governing biological system behavior. We welcome applications from recent PhD graduates who are interested in these or related fields, particularly those with quantitative and experimental backgrounds in stem cell and developmental biology, or in statistical physics, biophysics, or in experimental method development including genomics and microfluidics.

The successful candidate will work with Dr. Klein to develop an independent research project within the scope of the lab's research 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 as needed, and otherwise contribute to overall lab operations and collaborative environment.
