Postdoctoral Fellow in Iron and BMP Biology
A postdoctoral fellow position is available immediately in the Babitt laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School.
Our laboratory conducts basic and translational research in the areas of iron biology, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, and kidney disease.
Current projects aim to understand the prodomain function, proteolytic procssing, and dimerization of BMP proteins, with a particular focus on how these processes impact systemic iron homeostasis regulation.
A second project will collaborate with a chemistry lab and clinical investigators for the pre-clinical development and clinical translation of novel compounds for the treatment of iron disorders.
We employ state-of-the-art multidisciplinary experimental approaches, including gene editing, novel genetic mouse models, primary cell isolation and culture, signal transduction assays, flow cytometry, single cell sequencing and multiomic approaches, among others.
Postdoctoral fellows will benefit from a highly collaborative environment and connections to premier biomedical institutions in the greater Boston area.
Candidates for this position must have a Ph.
D.
(or equivalent) in the biomedical sciences.
Ideal applicants will have an experimental background in cell signaling, molecular biology, and mouse genetics; a strong publication record; and excellent communication/interpersonal skills.
Massachusetts General Hospital is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
By embracing diverse skills, perspectives and ideas, we choose to lead.
Applications from protected veterans and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged.
Recommended Skills Biology Biomedical Engineering Cell Signaling Clinical Works Editing Interpersonal Skills Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
