venom glands PostDoc positions and fellowships

This postdoctoral fellowship in the Holford Laboratory at Harvard University focuses on developing novel molluscan cell lines and organoid systems to study cephalopod and conoidean venom glands and venom gene families. The fellow will establish long-term molluscan cell culture, optimize culture media, apply molecular and genomic techniques, utilize gene-editing approaches, and conduct imaging, transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional analyses. Collaboration across biology, engineering, and translational research is expected, along with mentoring graduate students and preparing manuscripts and grant applications.

The Holford Laboratory at Harvard University seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow to pioneer the development of novel molluscan cell lines and organoid systems for marine invertebrate biology, environmental adaptation, and biotechnology applications. The fellow will establish long-term molluscan cell culture, derive organoids from tissues and stem cells, and formulate specialized culture media. Using molecular, cellular, genomic, and gene-editing techniques, the fellow will characterize cell identity, differentiation, and function, while conducting imaging, transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional analyses. The role also involves collaboration across biology, engineering, and translational teams, mentoring graduate students and junior staff, and preparing manuscripts, presentations, and grant applications focused on cephalopod and conoidean venom glands and venom gene families.

The Wang lab at Washington University in St. Louis seeks a postdoctoral researcher to lead a project focused on tear gland development and dry eye disease management. The position combines basic research on ocular tissue development with clinical research using human specimens and translational therapeutic development.

A fixed-term (6‑month) Research Assistant/Research Associate position in the Khaled Lab at the University of Cambridge, focused on computational analysis of single‑cell and spatial transcriptomic data to understand and prevent hereditary breast cancer in BRCA1/2/PALB2 carriers.
