HHMI Job Trends

We have an exciting opportunity for a Laboratory Manager I to join the del Mármol Lab at Harvard Medical School. At the del Mármol Lab, we are deciphering the molecular logic of the sense of smell using cutting-edge structural biology (cryo-EM), electrophysiology and neurophysiology. Our ultimate goal is to uncover how insect vectors of disease—like mosquitoes—detect their human hosts, and use these insights to develop mechanisms of disease control. This is an excellent opening for someone looking to establish themselves long-term in a lab management role — whether you are an experienced lab manager ready to grow, or a senior...

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist with hybrid expertise spanning systems neuroscience, computer-vision, pose-tracking, behavioral ML, and VR technology to join the Schulze Lab. In this role, you will integrate custom hardware and software with computational analysis pipelines to probe the neural circuits underlying collective behavior and social cognition. To design and apply your own virtual reality paradigms, you will be working closely with our lab's VR specialist and collaborate across the team to investigate the rich, naturalistic behavior we study in Danionella . Further, you will use multi-animal tracking and behavioral classification to study latent structures and create brain-behavior...

We have an opportunity for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the Martens lab at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Hanna Martens investigates how aging disrupts the tissue microenvironment by altering extracellular matrix organization, mechanical signaling, and cell-cell communication. We seek to understand how these changes influence cell behavior, tissue homeostasis, and regenerative capacity, with the long-term goal of developing strategies to restore tissue function and promote healthy aging. By integrating molecular genetics, quantitative imaging, single-cell and spatial genomics, bioengineering, and engineered extracellular matrix mimetics with advanced 3D cell culture systems, we aim to uncover fundamental mechanisms of aging...

The Postdoctoral Scientist role’s primary focus will be to conduct research activities and manage an independent project involving the study of host responses to bacterial infection in support of the lab’s goals. This is an excellent opportunity for passionate, driven candidates who have demonstrated the ability to work both independently and collaboratively and have a solid track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals. Application Instructions Please include the following items as part of your application – Your curriculum vitae including your list of publications Names and contact information for at least 3 professional references What we provide A competitive compensation...

As the Laboratory Manager you will supervise and perform technical and administrative tasks in the Waldor lab, providing support to Dr. Waldor and his laboratory staff, including postdoctoral fellows, research fellows, and graduate students. You will ensure adequate supplies for experimental needs and oversee equipment maintenance, and serve as liaison to HHMI and host institution administrative offices. Given the lab's work with enteric bacterial pathogens and animal models (primarily mice), you will help manage biosafety compliance and animal protocol documentation and may support laboratory research and procedures by performing routine experimental techniques, such as preparation of media, buffers, and stock...
