Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position – Stem Cells, Aging and Genome Medicine
Harvard University
Details
Posted: 29-Apr-26
Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Categories:
Academic/Faculty
Biological/Biomedical Sciences
Internal Number: 16194
School: Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Position Description:
The Laboratory of Stem Cells, Aging and Genome Medicines, headed by Dr. Amy Wagers in Harvard's Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology (HSCRB), invites applications from highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellows to join our team. Our lab uses stem cell biology, immunology and genome engineering to unravel fundamental mechanisms of tissue regeneration and to develop new gene and cell therapies for currently incurable human diseases.
Ongoing projects include:
1. Interrogating fundamental mechanisms of blood and skeletal muscle stem cell function in tissue regeneration
2. Engineering and testing new in vivo gene transfer technologies
3. Developing strategies to induce immune tolerance to therapeutic proteins and tissue autoantigens.
4. Advancing curative therapies for rare genetic diseases and age-related disorders
The successful candidate will have a track-record of research productivity in molecular and cell biology, immunology, and/or vertebrate physiology. Experience with one or more of the following is welcome, but not required: flow cytometry, viral or non-viral gene transfer technologies, AI/ML based modeling, or the execution of in vivo functional genetic screens.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Design, execute and interpret experiments related to stem cell-mediated tissue repair, immune tolerance, gene transfer and therapeutics development.
2. Work both independently and collaboratively with other lab members to advance shared research goals.
3. Collect, annotate and safeguard raw data; analyze experiments in a rigorous and timely manner.
4. Collaborate with academic partners and industry collaborators on interdisciplinary research projects, communicating clearly with PIs, postdocs, student, and research staff.
5. Publish and present findings at internal meetings, scientific conferences and peer-reviewed journals.
6. Contribute to the preparation of research proposals, progress reports, manuscripts, patent applications, and regulatory/compliance documents.
7. Complete all required training modules and adhere to institutional research and safety policies.
8. Participate in mentoring and teaching activities for undergraduate and graduate students in the lab and department.
Basic Qualifications:
Required:
1. Ph.D. (or equivalent, e.g. M.D./Ph.D.) in biology, immunology, genetics, bioengineering, or a related field
2. Demonstrated record of research achievement (e.g., first-author publications or manuscripts in preparation)
3. Strong written and oral communication skills
4. Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team
Additional Qualifications:
Experience with mouse models, flow cytometry, gene transfer technologies, advanced imaging, and/or computational analysis of genomic data
