Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position
Harvard Medical School & Massachusetts General Hospital

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our multidisciplinary research team at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. The position focuses on translational human physiology research integrating sleep and circadian biology, cognition, aging, cardiovascular and neurophysiological function, and computational analysis of multimodal physiological data.

Our research program combines longitudinal human studies, wearable and ambulatory physiological monitoring, neurophysiological and cardiovascular assessments, environmental measurements, and advanced analytical approaches to better understand physiological dynamics and health outcomes across aging and disease states.

The fellow will have opportunities to contribute to both human-subject research and quantitative analysis of complex physiological datasets. Candidates with interests in computational physiology, physiological signal analysis, wearable sensing, data science, machine learning, or quantitative modeling approaches applied to human physiology and health outcomes are especially encouraged to apply.

Applicants must hold a PhD, MD, or MD/PhD in physiology, biomedical engineering, neuroscience, data science, computer science, physics, applied mathematics, or related disciplines.

• Experience or strong interest in human physiology or translational human research
• Programming and quantitative analysis skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB, R)
• Physiological signal analysis, statistics, or time-series analysis
• Interest in interdisciplinary and NIH funding research

• Access to state-of-the‑art clinical and research facilities
• Strong mentorship with a proven track record of successful postdoctoral training and career development
• A collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment
• Opportunities to work on innovative human physiology and translational research projects
• Competitive salary and benefits package

Interested candidates should submit the following materials:

• A cover letter outlining research interests and career goals
• A detailed curriculum vitae (CV), including prior research experience and a list of publications

Applications should be sent to:

Dr. Kun Hu (khu1vard.edu)
