School | Faculty of Arts and Sciences |
Department/Area | Organismic and Evolutionary Biology |
Position Description | Are you ready to dive into groundbreaking research at the intersection of marine biology, development, evolutionary science, and venom biology? Join Professor Mandë Holford at Harvard University for an exciting opportunity to contribute to a high-impact, large-scale project investigating the evolution of cephalopods and their fascinating venom systems! As a Postdoctoral Fellow, you’ll be at the forefront of a cutting-edge study that seeks to unravel the evolution of cephalopod posterior salivary glands and venom gene families. This interdisciplinary role will allow you to apply phylogenetic, molecular, and morphological analysis techniques to explore how venom has evolved in marine mollusks. Your work will span from the field to the lab, including:
With a combination of wet lab techniques and cutting-edge bioinformatics tools, you’ll explore novel questions about marine evolution and development, all while engaging with a vibrant community of like-minded researchers at one of the world’s top universities. The Lab: This is not just any lab—it’s a place where the wonders of the marine world meet the power of modern science. You’ll be working directly with Professor Mandë Holford, an expert in molluscan venom biology and evolutionary research, alongside a team dedicated to advancing our understanding of novelty and complex traits. The ideal candidate will be someone who can not only contribute to the project but also bring their own unique ideas and perspectives to the table. Key Responsibilities:
