Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Fellow
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Whipple laboratory at Harvard University to study the function of imprinted non-coding RNAs in neurophysiology and disease (whipplelab.com). We seek a highly motivated individual with an interest in RNA biology, neurobiology, and/or computational biology to join our team.
Imprinted genes play important and complex roles in the development of the mammalian brain, including roles in growth, behavior, and learning. The importance of imprinted genes in the brain is further highlighted by the wide variety of neural and behavioral phenotypes associated with their misexpression. Our laboratory is interested in understanding the function of small and long non-coding RNAs that are expressed from imprinted regions in neurons. We have developed an in vitro neuron differentiation system that allows for quantification of allelic expression and are using this system to decipher functions of imprinted long non-coding RNAs, microRNAs, and small nucleolar RNAs employing a variety of molecular, cellular, and transcriptomic assays.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: U.S. Health Equity Postdoctoral Research Fellow
The Department of Global Health and Social Medicine stands out at Harvard University for its unique focus on research and training aimed at improving global health delivery and promoting health equity worldwide. Core to the department’s work is the recognition that an interdisciplinary approach is key to expanding and achieving global health equity. Traditional medical models alone will not fully address the complex social, economic, and political factors influencing global health care. Through the lens of disciplines like anthropology, history, sociology, economics, implementation science, and bioethics, department investigators seek to understand how issues like poverty, inequality, and access to resources act as barriers to health. In collaboration with community-based and other clinical organizations, we apply these understandings to develop and evaluate interventions and systems for improving the delivery of health care.
In memory of the late Paul Farmer, the department has established the U.S. Health Equity Postdoctoral Fellowship. Fellows will be early-career researchers who will spend two years based in the department. Their primary responsibility will be to pursue an original research project of their own design to advance a more equitable and efficient U.S. health care system. We seek fellows whose field research sites will be in low-income settings. Fellows will be assigned two mentors. The primary mentor will be a Global Health and Social Medicine faculty member who has overlapping research expertise or interest in the area of the Fellow’s proposed research topic. The co-mentor will be a faculty member either from within the department or from another Harvard University school and department, who specializes in the field most relevant to the selected fellow’s proposal. In addition to a fellowship stipend, research and professional development funding will be available.

Harvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Established in 1636 and named for its first benefactor, clergyman John Harvard, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and among the most prestigious in the world.
The Massachusetts colonial legislature, the General Court, authorized Harvard’s founding. In its early years, Harvard College primarily trained Congregational and Unitarian clergy, although it has never been formally affiliated with any denomination. Its curriculum and student body were gradually secularized during the 18th century, and by the 19th century, Harvard had emerged as the central cultural establishment among the Boston elite. Following the American Civil War, President Charles William Eliot’s long tenure (1869–1909) transformed the college and affiliated professional schools into a modern research university; Harvard became a founding member of the Association of American Universities in 1900. James B. Conant led the university through the Great Depression and World War II; he liberalized admissions after the war.
The university is composed of ten academic faculties plus the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Arts and Sciences offers study in a wide range of academic disciplines for undergraduates and for graduates, while the other faculties offer only graduate degrees, mostly professional. Harvard has three main campuses: the 209-acre (85 ha) Cambridge campus centered on Harvard Yard; an adjoining campus immediately across the Charles River in the Allston neighborhood of Boston; and the medical campus in Boston’s Longwood Medical Area. Harvard’s endowment is valued at $41.9 billion, making it the largest of any academic institution. Endowment income helps enable the undergraduate college to admit students regardless of financial need and provide generous financial aid with no loans.[ The Harvard Library is the world’s largest academic library system, comprising 79 individual libraries holding about 20.4 million items.
Harvard has more alumni, faculty, and researchers who have won Nobel Prizes (161) and Fields Medals (18) than any other university in the world and more alumni who have been members of the U.S. Congress, MacArthur Fellows, Rhodes Scholars (375), and Marshall Scholars (255) than any other university in the United States. Its alumni also include eight U.S. presidents and 188 living billionaires, the most of any university. Fourteen Turing Award laureates have been Harvard affiliates. Students and alumni have also won 10 Academy Awards, 48 Pulitzer Prizes, and 108 Olympic medals (46 gold), and they have founded many notable companies.
