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 Assistant I – Koehler Lab
MINIMUM EDUCATION:
- A bachelor’s degree is STEM or psychology
The Koehler Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School is dedicated to exploring how sensory organs form and function during early human development. We specialize in creating models of human sensory organs using human stem cells, such as the first inner ear and hair-producing skin models in a dish. Our research aims to pave the way for regenerative treatments for disorders affecting hearing, balance, touch, and pain.
We invite applications for a motivated Research Assistant to join our interdisciplinary team for a preferred minimum commitment of two years. This role will primarily involve work on projects related to human skin development, disease modeling, and testing gene/cell therapies.
Research Assistant I – Umemori Lab
MINIMUM EDUCATION:
- A bachelor’s degree in STEM with knowledge of Neuroscience.
In the brain, information processing occurs at synapses, and defects in synapse development underlie many neuropsychiatric diseases. The Umemori Lab is therefore interested in the mechanisms that regulate the development and function of synaptic circuits. Using in vitro and in vivo systems, we identify the manner and molecular logic by which specific and functional synaptic circuits are established in the mammalian brain and provide clues for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders associated with abnormal synapse development. We use molecular and cellular, mouse genetic, imaging, physiological, behavioral, and optogenetic techniques.
