Duties also include applying for fellowship funding, writing grants and manuscripts, teaching and mentoring lab members, and supporting lab operations.
Basic qualification is a PhD or MD/PhD in biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics, neuroscience, or a related field.
The role is salaried and benefits eligible, represented by Harvard Academic Workers-UAW, with a one-year term and possibility of extension.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis through the ARIeS portal with a CV, PhD research summary, cover letter, and three references; contact email is josefina_delmarmol@hms.harvard.edu.
