Job Summary:   We are looking for a highly motivated individual with experience in molecular and cellular biology and/or mouse husbandry to join our dynamic research team. The successful candidate will play an integral role in ongoing studies exploring how the PI3K-mTOR signaling network is altered in cancer, diabetes, and aging, and how targeting components of the signaling network might lead to new insights into how to treat or prevent these conditions. Research is particularly focused on how this signaling network is integrated with metabolic networks to control cell growth and systemic nutrient metabolism. Ongoing studies employ genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and animal models combined with unbiased systems-level tools, including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics.

Job Summary: Reporting to senior faculty member with an interdisciplinary research group spanning physics and chemistry, manages and directs laboratory administrative personnel and researchers.  This position is with Park Research Group at Harvard University. The Park Group is affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Department of Physics, and Quantum Science and Engineering Program at Harvard University. The group focuses on fundamental studies of nanoscale electrical, optical, and plasmonic devices that operate based upon quantum mechanical principles, as well as the development of new nano- and microelectronic tools that can interface with living cells, cell networks, and organisms. The goal of our  quantum optoelectronics  effort is to develop solid-state photonic, optoelectronic, and plasmonic devices that work all the way down to the single quantum level, thus paving the way for all-optical computing and solid-state quantum information...

Job Summary: The Balskus lab is searching for a technician to provide experimental support for an on-going project aimed at developing therapeutics for the vaginal microbiome. Working closely with senior lab members, the technician will primarily be responsible for assisting in the design, execution and analysis of assays that assess microbial growth, metabolism, and enzymatic activity. Additionally, the employee will assist with other tasks that support the operation of the overall lab, as described in more detail below. The research assistant may work on an independent project, but within specific guidelines. Strong organizational and communication skills are critical. Final candidates may be asked to demonstrate their technical ability through an in-lab demonstration. Job-Specific Responsibilities: Under supervision of a senior lab member, assist in the design and execution of assays to assess anaerobic bacterial growth or enzymatic activity. This includes aliquoting...

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/. The lab of Dr. Nora Kory studies compartmentalization of metabolism and mitochondrial transport using a combination of techniques including biochemistry, structural biology, functional genomics (CRISPR screens), metabolomics, imaging, and cell biology methods. Ultimately, the lab hopes to uncover how alterations in mitochondrial transport support a cell’s adaptation to changing environments with the long-term goals of identifying ways to prevent or delay the onset of aging and age-related diseases.

The Adelman Lab at Harvard Medical School is looking for a full-time Research Assistant (RA) to join our vibrant, interdisciplinary team. Our group investigates how gene regulation goes awry in diseases such as cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a focus on the role of RNA quality control. We are looking for candidates who are hardworking, curious, and highly motivated to learn. You should enjoy problem-solving, and be comfortable working both independently and collaboratively. Responsibilities will include designing and conducting experiments (with support and guidance), analyzing data, and helping to plan next steps. We encourage independence and critical thinking, and you will have frequent opportunities to expand your skills and learn new techniques. You will work closely with scientists at all career stages, and contribute directly to exciting research using molecular biology, cell biology, and genome engineering techniques to understand how abnormal RNA production...

The Brugge Laboratory at Harvard Medical School is seeking a highly motivated Bioinformaticist II to join a dynamic team of researchers working on understanding ovarian cancer initiation and drug resistance. With our collaborators, we have access to valuable patient samples derived from matched pre- and post-chemotherapy-treated patients. The Bioinformaticist II will collaborate with investigators in the Brugge lab and partner labs to perform bioinformatics analyses, statistical modeling, and hypothesis generation from large-scale, multi-modal patient-derived datasets. This position will work with other scientists to define different states of epithelial/tumor and stromal cells in ovarian tumor samples before and after chemotherapy. The lab uses advanced single cell approaches to profile the genetic, epigenetic and transcriptomic landscape to identify strategies to prevent therapy resistance. They integrate this information with high-throughput immunofluorescence microscopy to...
