HMS - Associate in Genetics

Research associate in the Perrimon Lab, Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, which investigates the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate metabolism and other biological processes using Drosophila models and interdisciplinary experimental and computational approaches, including spatial metabolomics and spatial transcriptomics at the tissue level. The associate supports this work through Drosophila tissue collection and dissection, tissue preparation and staining, nucleic-acid extraction and other molecular-biology procedures, together with sample and dataset organisation, basic data quality assessment and visualisation, established computational analyses and preparation of figures and data summaries, under the direction of the principal investigator and senior lab members.

Salary range $50,000–$60,000; expected start around 25 January 2027.

Bachelor's degree in the life sciences, a strong background in computation and experience working in a research laboratory; ability to follow established protocols and keep accurate experimental records.
