Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Multiple postdoctoral positions are available immediately in Dr. Min Dong’s lab at the New England Primate Research Center of Harvard Medical School. The lab studies a fascinating family of bacterial toxins, botulinum neurotoxins, which are used widely in treating a growing list of neurological disorders. We are also utilizing these toxins as probes to investigate fundamental cellular functions, particularly synaptic vesicle release, vesicle trafficking, and cytoskeleton remodeling in neurons. Along these lines of research, we have a keen interest in translating our insights toward developing new reagents and therapeutics. Please visit: http://donglab.hms.harvard.edu for a description of research directions. Experience in protein engineering, structure biology, microbiology, in vivo analysis of rodent models, gut epithelial cell models, cell biology of neurons, and synaptic physiology will be beneficial, but are not required. Interested candidates please forward your curriculum vitae and names of three references to Dr. Min Dong by email: (donglab@hms.harvard.edu).

Harvard Medical School and the New England Primate Research Center are equal opportunity employers, committed to diversity in the workplace.
