Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Stem Cells, Aging and Genome Medicine

Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology (HSCRB), Harvard University

Laboratory: The Laboratory of Stem Cells, Aging and Genome Medicines headed by Dr. Amy Wagers.

The lab applies stem cell biology, immunology, and genome engineering to elucidate fundamental mechanisms of tissue regeneration and to develop new gene and cell therapies for currently incurable human diseases.

Ongoing Projects

Interrogate fundamental mechanisms of blood and skeletal muscle stem cell function in tissue regeneration
Engineer and test novel in vivo gene transfer technologies
Develop strategies to induce immune tolerance to therapeutic proteins and tissue autoantigens
Advance curative therapies for rare genetic diseases and age‑related disorders

Key Responsibilities

Design, execute, and analyze experiments related to stem cell‑mediated tissue repair, immune tolerance, gene transfer, and therapeutic development.

Work independently and collaboratively with lab members to pursue shared research goals.

Collect, annotate, and safeguard raw data; analyze experiments in a rigorous and timely manner.

Collaborate with academic partners and industry collaborators, communicating clearly with PIs, postdocs, students, and research staff.

Publish and present findings at internal meetings, scientific conferences, and peer‑reviewed journals.

Contribute to the preparation of research proposals, progress reports, manuscripts, patent applications, and regulatory documents.

Complete mandatory training modules and adhere to institutional research and safety policies.

Participate in mentoring and teaching activities for undergraduate and graduate students in the lab and department.

Basic Qualifications

Ph.D. (or equivalent, e.g., M.D./Ph.D.) in biology, immunology, genetics, bioengineering, or related field.
Demonstrated record of research achievement (e.g., first‑author publications or manuscripts in preparation).
Strong written and oral communication skills.
Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.

Additional Qualifications

Experience with mouse models, flow cytometry, gene‑transfer technologies, advanced imaging, and/or computational analysis of genomic data.

Salary

Optional compensation: $67,600–$80,000, dependent on experience and qualifications.
