The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc.

Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.
** Job Summary
** A research laboratory within the Brigham and Women’s Hospital Division of Cardiovascular Medicine is seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist to join a growing, interdisciplinary team. The lab uses both in vitro (human ESC/iPSC) and in vivo (zebrafish) systems to model cardiovascular disorders and integrates transcriptional, (epi) genetic, metabolic, and phenotypic profiling at whole-organism, tissue, and single-cell levels. Our goal is to define the earliest molecular events driving disease onset, characterize their dynamic changes over time, and identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
The Research Scientist will lead and directly perform automated, high-throughput microscopy screens to identify small-molecule compounds with improved efficacy over current clinical therapies. The role will involve hands-on execution of complex imaging workflows and the application of machine-learning approaches to large-scale imaging and phenotyping datasets. In addition, the Research Scientist will serve as the primary scientific point person for multiple industry collaborations, coordinating experimental design, execution, data generation, and communication between external partners and the lab.
The Research Scientist will independently drive scientific projects, determine research direction in collaboration with the PI, and serve as an internal expert in automated imaging and computational analysis. The successful candidate will generate high-quality data, contribute substantially to scientific publications, mentor junior staff, engage with collaborators, and may participate in the development of external funding applications.
