Department/Area

The Rowland Institute at Harvard is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral researcher position within the Gozzi Lab.

This laboratory specializes in the study of bacterial-encoded domesticated viruses, referred to as gene transfer agents, which are capable of packaging random segments of the host genome for genetic exchange.

These virus-like particles are non-infectious and do not replicate independently, yet they can transduce random sections of the genome among a population.

Our objective is to explore the diversity, regulation, and species-specificity of gene transfer agents throughout the Tree of Life.


For additional information about our lab, please visit:
In a broader context, bacteria are in a constant battle against various lethal stresses in their microscopic environments. Our research focuses on understanding how microbes adapt to their dynamic surroundings, employing both simple and complex survival strategies.

We aim to gain a profound understanding of bacterial responses to stress, leveraging this knowledge to engineer beneficial functions in these microorganisms.


We welcome applications from postdoctoral candidates with expertise in microbiology and molecular biology.

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to utilize the interdisciplinary core facilities at the Rowland Institute and engage with the broader Harvard and Boston scientific community.

Postdoctoral researchers at Harvard University receive competitive salaries along with comprehensive benefits packages.

Basic Qualifications: We encourage applications from individuals with backgrounds in microbiology and molecular biology. Ideally, candidates should possess experience in bacterial husbandry, cloning, genetics, microscopy/biological imaging, and/or protein biochemistry. A strong publication record in microbiology or molecular biology that showcases these competencies is highly desirable. Additional consideration will be given to those with a background in bioinformatics.

Additional Qualifications:
