Scholarship Description:
Our lab at the Department of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is recruiting talented candidates at various career stages (lab webpage: https://www.fengtianlab.com).
Harvard Medical School’s mission is to alleviate human suffering by nurturing diverse leaders in clinical care and biomedical research. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) is a world-class teaching hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School. The Department of Neurology is at the forefront of this mission.
We have distinguished brain research labs and clinical programs across major areas of neurology, treating both common and complex conditions with advanced therapies and technologies.
Our lab focuses on combining genetic tools (like CRISPR and AAV vectors) and computational methods (including state-of-the-art machine learning models) to (1) dissect the epigenomic programs that determine cell death and survival in neurodegenerative diseases (glaucoma, ALS, and Alzheimer’s Disease) and (2) develop novel therapeutics to protect and regenerate the nervous system.
The lab is well-funded, and we support working visas or immigration petitions in compliance with our institutions’ policies.
Available Subjects:
- (1) molecularly and computationally dissect the epigenomic programs determining cell death/survival in neurodegenerative diseases (glaucoma, ALS, and Alzheimer’s Disease); and
- (2) develop novel therapeutics that protect and regenerate the nervous system in disease conditions.
Eligibility criteria:
- (1) Postdoctoral Research Fellows: This position is available for wet lab (experimental) work or a hybrid experimental/computational role. We do not offer remote postdoc positions.
- (2) Internship or Visiting Students: This position can be experimental, computational, or hybrid. We currently do not offer remote internships.
Application Procedure:
Please submit an inquiry by emailing [email protected] with your CV.
