Description: The Center for Molecular Imaging Research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School is looking for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for a research program in imaging pharmacotherapy induced apoptosis.
Requirements: PhD and experience in cell based and molecular/biochemical assays.
Position: Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Research Area: Stem Cell/Brain Tumor Therapy Research
Full/Part Time: Full Time
Lab: Shah, Khalid

Description: Postdoctoral research position is available immediately in Molecular Neuroscience and Imaging Unit of Center for Molecular Imaging Research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Our laboratory focuses on engineering neural stem cell based regulatable apoptotic and antiangiogenic therapies for gliomas. Inherently linked to the brain tumor therapy paradigm, we employ fluorescent/bioluminesecent imaging markers and optical imaging techniques to image stem cell fate and monitor the effect of therapeutic genes delivered to brain tumors. In an effort to develop combination therapies and sensitize glioma cells to therapeutic stem cells, we are also interested in altering the EGFR/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway that is frequently overactive in high grade gliomas.
Requirements: Applicants should have a PhD degree or equivalents, with experience in one or more of the following techniques such as neural stem cell biology, gene cloning, vector construction and animal surgeries.
We offer excellent training opportunities in a collaborative research environment including molecular biology, stem cell biology, gene delivery to brain tumors and imaging disciplines.
Please submit a CV and two references to: Dr. Khalid Shah @ kshah@helix.mgh.harvard.edu.

Description: A position is currently open in the lab of Filip Swirski for a Postdoctoral Fellow – Innate immunity in atherosclerosis.
We are looking for a motivated post-doctoral fellow to study the role of myeloid cells in atherosclerosis. Experiments will utilize classical cell biology tools, molecular profiling, and recently developed in vivo molecular imaging and therapeutic technologies that permit to interrogate monocyte biology at multiple resolutions, from the whole animal to a single cell. The project will interact closely with local imaging, immunology and cardiovascular groups. The research project is part of the Cellular Imaging Program (CIP) at CMIR. More information is available @ http://cmir.mgh.harvard.edu/cip
Requirements: The candidate (PhD or MD) should have experience in cell and molecular biological techniques. We offer excellent training opportunities in a collaborative research environment that includes immunology, chemistry and imaging disciplines. Please send your application, including CV, an outline of your research interests, and names and addresses of three references by email to fswirski@mgh.havard.edu.
