Job Posting Description
Position Summary/ Department Summary:
The Ebrahimi-Fakhari Laboratory within the F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center at Boston Children’s Hospital is seeking a highly motivated Research Assistant II to support translational neuroscience research focused on rare childhood-onset neurogenetic disorders, including hereditary spastic paraplegia.
The laboratory integrates patient-derived cellular systems, stem cell–based neuronal models, brain organoids, mouse models, and gene-based therapeutic development to advance disease-modifying strategies. The Research Assistant II will contribute to both experimental research (approximately 50%) and laboratory operations and regulatory coordination (approximately 50%).
This position is ideal for candidates seeking rigorous research training in a collaborative academic medical center and who are pursuing long-term careers in biomedical research, biotechnology, laboratory leadership, or graduate/medical training. A two-year commitment is strongly preferred.
