Title HMS - Postdoctoral Fellow in BCMP, Blacklow Lab School Harvard Medical School Department/Area Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology Position Description
The Blacklow lab at Harvard Medical School invites individuals to apply for a postdoctoral fellow position investigating the molecular structure and function of transmembrane signaling proteins. Our multidisciplinary and dynamic research team utilizes state-of-the-art structural biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and biophysical techniques to explore the molecular basis of cell signaling across biological membranes. Please see https://blacklow.hms.harvard.edu/ for additional information on areas of research. We welcome applications from recent PhD graduates who are interested in these or related fields, particularly those who may bring a new technology or perspective to bear on the work in the lab.
Responsibilities include designing and executing experiments to elucidate the structural determinants of transmembrane signal transduction. Collaboration with team members specializing in molecular biology, computational modeling, and cell biology is encouraged, as is the presentation of research findings in international meetings and peer-reviewed publications. In addition to carrying out bench 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.
