Department/Area Psychology
Position Description
The Gershman lab at Harvard University is seeking to hire a postdoctoral fellow to work on experimental studies of learning and memory in ciliates (Stentor, Paramecium).
This research program is motivated by new ideas about the molecular basis of memory and its ancient origins in protozoa.
We are currently focused on studying habituation memory in Stentor as a window into this question. The experiments are strongly guided by theoretical models, in collaboration with Jeremy Gunawardena at Harvard Medical School.This is a three-year term position with possibility of renewal dependent upon job performance and continued availability of funding.
The Department of Psychology sits within the Division of Social Science, which is strongly committed to creating and supporting a diverse workforce.
Respect and fairness, kindness and collegiality, and trust and transparency are among the values we espouse and promote in our workplace culture.
We work hard to ensure a healthy, inclusive, and positive environment where everyone does their best work in support of Harvard's mission.
Learn more about our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and belonging in our departmental diversity statement.Basic Qualifications
PhD in Cellular or Molecular Biology or related field required by the appointment start date. Applicants must have extensive wet lab experience.
Additional Qualifications
Experience gathering and/or analyzing data
Ability to communicate effectively in both written and oral formats
Ability to work in a positive and productive manner with a variety of diverse staff
Ability to prioritize work and coordinate research protocols with lab members
Excellent attention to detail and organization skills
Interest in learning and strengthening existing skillsets
