美国哈佛大学Cohen实验室招聘博士后—化学与化学生物学

Post-Doctoral Fellow in Chemistry and Chemical Biology (Cohen Lab)

Harvard University

in Cambridge, MA

Type: Full-Time

Salary: $67,600 - $80,000 per year

Posted: 11/19/2025

Category: Chemistry

School: Faculty of Arts and Sciences

Department/Area: Chemistry and Chemical Biology

Position Description

The Cohen Lab invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position. The Cohen Lab develops and applies new tools to study biology. We push the limits of physics and chemistry to make measurements in previously inaccessible regimes. Work in the lab combines optics, protein engineering, chemistry, electrophysiology, simulation, and theory. We work at the levels of individual molecules, single cells, and whole, genetically modified, organisms.

A major focus is toward studying electrical signaling in the nervous system. We developed fluorescent reporters of membrane voltage and associated instrumentation to map electrical activity with high resolution in space and time. We study information processing in the brains of awake, behaving mice and zebrafish. We also work on electrical signaling in other tissues; on mechanical signaling in cells; and on the roles of physical forces in embryonic development.

Responsibilities include:

1. Conduct research in neuroscience, chemistry, physics, and related fields.

2. Publish and present research findings in high-quality scientific journals and conferences.

3. Collaborate with faculty, researchers, and students on interdisciplinary research projects.

4. Contribute to the preparation of research proposals.

5. Participate in teaching and mentoring activities for undergraduate and graduate students.

Basic Qualifications

1. A Ph.D. in a relevant field

2. Demonstrated record of research achievement.

3. Strong written and oral communication skills.

4. Ability to work independently and as part of a team

Special Instructions

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, CV, a brief research proposal, and two to three references' names and contact information. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
