Post-doctoral Fellowship – Bacteriology and Immunology

D. Branch Moody’s laboratory offers NIH-supported Research Fellowships in bacteriology and immunology with a focus on discovery of molecules and genes that promote virulence in pathogenic bacteria and trigger host response. Successful applicants with an PhD or MD degree will join a collaborative, discovery-focused team in a modern scientific laboratory and receive appointments at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. We offer high quality training in cellular immunology, bacteriology, chemical biology, and scientific communication. Current projects emphasize whole-organism genetic and metabolic screens to identify virulence factors and the biologically dominant molecules that trigger host macrophage and T cell response. We also offer excellent career development through the Division of Rheumatology, along with scientific programs in the Committee for Immunology at Harvard Medical School. Existing long term grants support the full-time salaried positions that pay at or above the NIH scale and includes a competitive benefits package and visa application support.

Interested applicants can apply with a half page statement of interest and CV by writing bmoody@bwh.harvard.edu.
