Research Assistant I – Naqvi Lab

The Naqvi lab at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School is looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic Research Assistant to join our team. The Naqvi lab uses experimental and computational techniques to understand how transcription factors (TFs) regulate developmental gene expression, and how this process goes awry in disease. We combine quantitative chemical genetic tools, functional genomics readouts, and stem cell-derived models of development to understand how perturbations to TF levels lead to human variation and disease across a range of systems, including the developing face and gut. See naqvilab.org for more information. This Research Assistant will be part of a dynamic and growing scientific team, with opportunities to shape the direction of an exciting research program at the intersection of gene regulation, stem cell biology, and machine learning. This is an inclusive and rigorous lab environment. The position is part of an intellectually stimulating scientific ecosystems of Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, with regular opportunities for seminars and coursework.
