Explore molecular mechanisms underlying unique adaptations and behaviors. Fellows have freedom to ask broad questions across a range of organisms housed within our lab: octopuses, sharks, jellyfish, photosynthetic animals, walking fish, piranhas, and more. The fellow will benefit from diverse scientific approaches in our lab and broader community across Harvard and collaborative interactions elsewhere. Candidates should have a strong background in cell biology, physiology, biochemistry, structure, and/or other molecular approaches with demonstrated ability to independently lead a project, as well as collaboratively contribute to a team. Most of all, we value curiosity, creativity, and a passion for science! All postdoctoral fellows in the lab have received external fellowship support, and thus we expect and will support fellowship applications upon starting.

Ph.D. Required Candidates should have a strong background in cell biology, physiology, biochemistry, structure, and/or other molecular approaches.

Letters of recommendation are required at the time of application. Candidates should submit with their application contact information for two to three references from experts at the ladder faculty ranks or highly accomplished senior researchers from corporations or research institutes.
