Postdoctoral Fellow

The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard is the world’s leading biomedical research institute dedicated to the bold mission of using the full power of genomics to transform the understanding and treatment of disease. The Broad Institute seeks to describe all of the molecular components of life and their connections; discover the molecular basis of major human diseases; develop effective new approaches to diagnostics and therapeutics; and disseminate discoveries, tools, methods, and data openly to the entire scientific community. Founded in 2004 by Eric Lander and philanthropists Eli and Edythe L. Broad, the Broad Institute includes faculty, professional staff, and students from throughout the MIT and Harvard biomedical research communities and beyond, with collaborations spanning more than a hundred private and public institutions in more than 40 countries worldwide. The Broad's Program in Medical and Population Genetics brings together a scientific community focused on understanding how genomic variation contributes to susceptibility to human disease and to an individual's response to therapy. Experts in population genetics, statistics, molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics collaborate to characterize common genetic variants and establish their role in disease. Scientists in the Program in Medical and Population Genetics share ideas and launch collaborative projects to tackle key challenges. The program also works closely with scientists in the Genetic Analysis Platform. In addition, it collaborates with many other labs in the Harvard-MIT community and elsewhere. This postdoctoral associate will carry out day to day experiments within the medical population genetics group.
