The Dunn Lab at Mass General is seeking exceptional postdoctoral candidates with expertise or interest in epigenetics. Applicants will contribute to an innovative project funded by the NIMH that focuses on integrating longitudinal data with insights from genetics, epigenetics, and human development to examine the developmental causes and consequences of DNA methylation (DNAm) on risk for depression in adolescence and young adulthood and time-dependent effects of protective factors on depressive symptom trajectories.
Successful candidates are expected to excel at critical thinking and be quick learners for new analytical approaches. Candidates must have a doctoral degree, an excellent publication record, and great communication skills. Candidates with backgrounds in multiple disciplines, including but not limited to epidemiology, genetics, and epigenetics are encouraged to apply. This is a highly unique opportunity for someone seeking an interdisciplinary experience to work with a large collection of epigenetic, genetic, and rich phenotypic data while receiving outstanding team-based mentorship.
Please email Alison Hoffnagle directly at ahoffnagle(a)mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:ahoffnagle@mgh.harvard.edu> if you are interested in a Research Fellow position.

Northeastern University Future Faculty Post-doctoral Fellowship Program
Northeastern University and the ADVANCE Office of Faculty Development invite applications from candidates for the 2023-2024 Northeastern University Future Faculty Post-doctoral Fellowship Program.
Northeastern University’s mission emphasizes translational research that addresses global challenges and enhances social well-being. Moreover, the university strives to create a vibrant and diverse community, characterized by collaboration, creativity, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Northeastern University celebrates diversity in all its forms and fosters a culture of respect that affirms inter-group relations and builds community.
Consistent with Northeastern’s mission, vision, and core values, the objectives of the Future Faculty Post-doctoral Fellowship Program are:
* Introduce Northeastern University’s academic community to postdoctoral researchers who are considering faculty careers
* Enhance opportunities for those who are members of groups whose representation in faculty positions is smaller than their representation in the U.S. population. This includes women, racial and ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, first-generation students, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. They must also show a demonstrated commitment to an inclusive faculty and an inclusive academic experience for all students
* Prepare Future Faculty Post-doctoral Fellows for possible tenure-track appointments at Northeastern University
* Enhance the academic environment of Northeastern University by providing opportunities for students and faculty to gain experience in multicultural, broadly diverse, and inclusive work settings and research collaborations that improve the capacity of all their members
The complete Future Faculty Post-doctoral Fellowship description that includes eligibility, fellowship terms, and the link to apply can be found here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam12.safelinks.protec…>.
