Research Assistant - Neurology - Hu & Li Lab

Harvard University

<div>
 <strong>
  Company Description
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 By working at Harvard University, you join a vibrant community that advances Harvard's world-changing mission in meaningful ways, inspires innovation and collaboration, and builds skills and expertise. We are dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming environment where everyone can thrive.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  Why join the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences?
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 The Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) is the historic heart of Harvard University. It is the home of Harvard&rsquo;s undergraduate program (Harvard College, founded in 1636) as well as all of Harvard&rsquo;s Ph.D. programs (the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, founded in 1872), Harvard Athletics and the Division of Continuing Education. The 40 academic departments and 30+ centers of the FAS support a community unparalleled in its academic excellence across the broadest range of liberal arts and sciences disciplines. Together, the FAS seeks to foster an environment of ambition, curiosity and shared commitment to knowledge and truth that elicits excellence from all members of our community and prepares the next generation of leaders through a transformative educational experience.

 <strong>
  Job Description
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <strong>
  Job Summary:
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 In the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, we research and teach how the collective behavior of molecules and cells forms the basis of life. We are driven by a passion for discovery and value collaborative approaches to scientific inquiry, where connections between people fuel interdisciplinary science and break boundaries across varied experimental systems. Against a backdrop of cutting edge biological research, we work as a team of educators and mentors to inspire and train the next generation of scientists and global citizens. The Whipple Lab in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University is seeking a full-time Research Assistant I. Our lab studies how gene expression is regulated in the brain, with a focus on genomic imprinting&mdash;an epigenetic phenomenon in which genes are expressed from only one parental allele. We use imprinting as a model system to uncover fundamental principles of chromatin organization and RNA-guided gene regulation in mammalian cells.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Our research integrates molecular biology, genomics, and neuroscience approaches to investigate how allele-specific chromatin architecture and non-coding RNAs regulate neuronal function. Ongoing work includes studies of long non-coding RNAs and small nucleolar RNAs, with implications for neurodevelopmental disorders such as Angelman syndrome and Prader&ndash;Willi syndrome.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 The Research Assistant will contribute to an individual research project within the lab&rsquo;s broader program while also supporting laboratory operations. This position is ideal for candidates seeking significant hands-on research experience and mentorship in preparation for graduate training.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  Job-Specific Responsibilities:
