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.
