Research Fellow

Site: Massachusetts General Physicians Organization, Inc.

Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.

The Research Fellow will play a crucial role in the MGH Cardiovascular Research Center's Wyant Lab. The scientific mission of the Wyant Lab is to understand the mechanism by which key physiological inputs, such as oxygen, nutrients, mechanical stretch, and electrical signals regulate heart, muscle, and brain function. The goal is to ultimately identify novel therapeutic strategies for heart failure, neurodegeneration, or muscle atrophy. We are particularly interested in candidates with prior experience in Crispr-Cas9 genetic screening technologies, protein purification and structural biology, and mouse physiology. Qualified candidates with a PhD should send their CV and a cover letter to Dr. Gregory Wyant at gwyant@mgh.harvard.edu.
