Job Summary: The Department of Molecular Metabolism (MET) at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (SPH) conducts pioneering research into the causes of underlying complex human disorders. Our studies aim to transform our understanding of wellness and disease and will help us develop novel approaches to address the major challenges to global public health. Learn more about MET and their research here: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/molecular-metabolism/  We are seeking a Research Assistant to support the Mair Lab which investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which animals modulate the rate at which they age in response to changes in nutrition and the environment. The profound ability to slow aging during fasting or when food intake is reduced is seen in organisms ranging from yeast to primates and is coupled to a striking protection against a suite of age-related pathologies. Learn more about Dr. Mair's research initiatives here:...

The Weingarten lab in the Microbiology Department of Harvard Medical School is looking for a highly motivated, enthusiastic research assistant I (RAI) to work in a virology research laboratory. The ability to communicate effectively, work well in a team setting, and a strong desire to learn new methods are required. Working closely with the PI or with a senior scientist, the RA I will design experiments, perform a variety of molecular biology techniques including molecular cloning, DNA/RNA extraction, DNA/protein gel electrophoresis, PCR, mammalian cell culture, cell transfection and analyze experimental results. The candidate should have high organization skills and meticulous documentation of experiments in a lab notebook. The position offers an excellent opportunity to participate in a dynamic research environment in an exciting fast-paced field of research.  Qualifications Basic Qualifications: College background or equivalent work experience, preferably in a related...

Job Summary: The Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases (IID) focuses on the biological, immunological, epidemiological and ecological aspects of viral, bacterial and protozoan diseases of animals and humans, including the vectors that transmit infectious agents. Research in the department's laboratories is primarily focused on diseases of developing countries. Insects are a key gateway for spreading disease because of their ability to ferry pathogens from one host to another. These vectors represent important biological touch points, especially in malaria, and we are pursuing innovative research programs to illuminate their roles and identify strategies for future disease control. In Africa — where the majority of malaria deaths occur — the primary vector of disease is the mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. The malaria parasite is transmitted through the bites of female mosquitoes, whose high reproductive capacity fuels malaria transmission. Therefore, targeting these...

The Sharpe laboratory at Harvard Medical School seeks a highly motivated individual to support research in mouse and human tumor immunology, and/or autoimmunity. Under the supervision of the Lab Manager and/or senior trainees, this individual will perform a wide range of highly sophisticated laboratory techniques, working closely with fellows and students to analyze the functions of immunoregulatory pathways. This includes immunological techniques (immune cell isolation, assays of stromal, myeloid, and T cell function, cytokine ELISA assays, multiparameter flow cytometry, handling recombinant DNA vectors), molecular biology procedures (PCR, RNA and/or DNA preparation from tissues, as well as bulk and single-cell RNASeq). Animal work is required (measuring tumors, monitoring disease scores, weighing mice, survival bleeding, i.p. / s.c. / i.v. injections, generating chimeras), mouse husbandry (colony maintenance, genotyping). This individual may also handle primary human samples...

The Datta Lab in the Department of Neurobiology is seeking a Research Assistant to support research aimed at understanding how Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk genes influence the function of innate immune cells. Our work leverages an interdisciplinary toolkit—including tissue imaging, single-cell sequencing, and in vitro culture systems—to elucidate how these cells operate during the late stages of Alzheimer’s disease. The Research Assistant will perform a variety of laboratory research tasks related to our projects investigating cell–cell interactions in tauopathy and their impact on disease progression. The work will be performed under specific direction, and the research assistant may be asked to perform familiar tasks independently. The ideal candidate is well organized and motivated, has strong communication skills, and works well with a multidisciplinary team of researchers. Typical responsibilities include: Handling and maintaining animal colonies, including colony...

Job Summary: The Center for Biostatistics in AIDS Research (CBAR), an organization within the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, is responsible for the design, monitoring and statistical analysis of clinical trials and observational studies for several major national and international NIH-funded clinical research networks. CBAR employs over 60 statisticians and epidemiologists including Harvard faculty, research scientists, and staff.  Investigators within CBAR have provided statistical leadership and support for clinical research networks for thirty-five years. Currently this includes infectious disease networks such as: Advancing Clinical Therapeutics Globally for HIV/AIDS and Other Infections (ACTG) and the International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Network (IMPAACT). Results from studies have helped to establish the paradigm for the treatment and prevention of HIV and other infectious diseases, and contributed to international treatment and...

Job Summary: The Research Data and Project Manager will serve a technical and management role, overseeing the daily operations and complex digital infrastructure within the Population Mental Health Lab.
