Postdoctoral Research Associate - Center for Systems Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School

Postdoctoral fellow positions are available (Shaw laboratory; http://csb.mgh.harvard.edu/shaw) to use chemical biology and functional genomics to discover and modulate therapeutic targets in human disease. The laboratory’s overallgoal is to understand how susceptibility alleles or disease mutations contribute to disease, and to translate these insights into novel therapies or biomarkers. Experimental approaches range from wet lab experiments, to high-throughput chemical screens, to bioinformatic analysis of large chemical and genomic datasets. Disease areas under investigation include cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, mitochondrial disease, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Please contact Professor Stanley Shaw (shaw.stanley@mgh.harvard.edu) at MGH for details; please include a CV and cover letter.
