The F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center is fully committed to recruiting and supporting the full spectrum of our diverse population and ensuring that everybody has a place in our research community.
Postdoctoral Fellows Positions
Research Fellow – Osterweil Lab
MINIMUM EDUCATION: PhD, MD
The Osterweil lab is recruiting a motivated individual to fill a postdoctoral position in molecular neuroscience. You will be joining the exciting, fast-paced environment at Boston Children’s Hospital/ Harvard Medical School investigating cell type-specific mRNA translation in neural function and dysfunction.
Candidates must have a PhD in neuroscience, cell biology, or a related field, and show evidence of good productivity in the form of publications. Experience with either molecular neuroscience and mouse brain surgical techniques, or RNA-seq and bioinformatics, is greatly preferred.
Research Fellow – Ebrahimi-Fakhari Lab
MINIMUM EDUCATION: PhD, MD
We are looking for talented trainees who are passionate about disease-oriented translational research. We are particularly interested in colleagues with a background in molecular biology, cell biology, neuroscience, gene editing and/or work with transgenic mouse lines
Research Fellow – Bioinformatics
MINIMUM EDUCATION: PhD, MD
The Laboratories of Dr. Judith Steen, Associate Professor of Neurology, and Dr. Hanno Steen, Associate Professor of Pathology, are joint multidisciplinary laboratories working to understand neuroregeneration and neurodegenerative disease using systems biology approaches. The laboratory develops novel qualitative and quantitative methodologies in mass spectrometry and at the interface of proteomics and transcriptomics with emphasis on computational proteomics approaches.

Research Positions
Research Lab Manager – Poduri Lab
MINIMUM EDUCATION:
- An advanced degree (M.S., Ph.D., etc.) and a minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience.
The Poduri Lab is a key component of the translational research of the Epilepsy Genetics Program, and we primarily utilize zebrafish as a genetic model to study novel candidate genes involved in epilepsy and associated neurodevelopmental conditions. Our laboratory uses a range of techniques including generating and genotyping transgenic zebrafish lines, conducting behavioral phenotyping assays, imaging, and performing electrophysiology recordings on larval zebrafish.
We are seeking a dedicated and detail-oriented individual to manage operations of a basic research laboratory and its technical staff. The lab manager would have an integral role in the implementation and maintenance of the laboratory’s standard operating procedures and research protocols, overseeing the purchase of supplies and equipment, ensuring the lab’s compliance with hospital and government animal and safety regulations, and assisting with grant applications and lab budgets. The lab manager will also engage in laboratory research.
Research Assistant I – Fagiolini Lab
MINIMUM EDUCATION:
- Bachelor’s Degree majoring in STEM or Biology or Psychology Required
- GPA 3.6 or higher preferred
The main focus of the Michela Fagiolini Laboratory is to understand the mechanisms that underlie the development and plasticity of cortical circuits in health and neurodevelopmental disorders. We work in close collaboration with the Centers of Excellence for Rett Syndrome and CDKL5 Disorder.
We use a combination of histological, in vivo electrophysiological, imaging, and behavioral techniques.
We are looking for a full-time research assistant who will become an active member of the laboratory.
They will be maintaining and genotyping our mouse colony in addition to some laboratory management and ordering and stocking laboratory supplies.
