About the role
Postdoctoral Fellow Position A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Babitt laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School. Our laboratory conducts fundamental and translational research in the areas of iron biology, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, and kidney disease. A particular focus of the laboratory is to identify the molecular basis by which BMPs regulate iron metabolism and the links between these pathways and the crippling complications of iron disorders and kidney disease. Current projects aim to 1) understand the prodomain function, proteolytic processing, and dimerization of BMP proteins, including how these processes impact systemic iron homeostasis regulation; 2) collaborate with a chemistry lab and clinical investigators for the pre-clinical development and clinical translation of novel compounds for the treatment of iron disorders. We employ state-of-the-art multidisciplinary experimental approaches, including gene editing, novel genetic mouse models, primary cell isolation and culture, signal transduction assays, flow cytometry, single cell sequencing and multiomic methodologies, among others. Postdoctoral fellows will benefit from a highly collaborative environment and connections to premier biomedical institutions in the greater Boston area.
Required Skills and Experience:
Candidates for this position must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in the biomedical sciences. Ideal applicants will have an experimental background in cell biology, molecular biology, and mouse genetics; a strong publication record; and excellent communication/interpersonal skills. Salary for this position ranges from $73,544 to $81,199.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
