(02) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc summary/title:– Postdoctoral Fellow in Neuromotor Control
The Neuromotor Control Lab at Harvard University, under the direction of Dr. Maurice Smith, is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to study human motor learning and motor control. The lab is in the Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The fellow will design and run human experiments, perform data analysis, and create computational models of learning and memory. A PhD is required. An ideal candidate will be: highly motivated with a record of high scientific productivity, possess strong skills in data analysis, and have a strong background in the neuroscience, learning and memory, motor control, biomechanics, control theory, or a related field. Strong statistical understanding and a talent for data analysis and visualization using Matlab or Python are expected. Specific experience with experimental design, computational modeling, and data analysis for studying human motor learning is a plus.
Postdoc summary/title:– Postdoctoral Fellow in Animal-Landscape Interactions using UAV-LiDAR Data
We are seeking a postdoctoral research associate to work with Professor Andrew Davies at Harvard University on animal-landscape interactions in African savannas and tropical forests. The research will combine high-resolution Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) with animal and plant field data of various kinds (e.g., from field surveys, camera traps, GPS telemetry, herbivore exclosure experiments) to uncover patterns and mechanisms of animal influences on ecosystem properties and functioning. The Davies Lab have used unoccupied aerial vehicles to collect a large amount of LiDAR data spanning natural and experimental gradients of climate, wildlife abundance, fire frequency, and other factors at multiple sites across Africa, which will be available for use by the postdoctoral researcher to answer questions related to animal and landscape ecology. The postdoctoral researcher will play a leading role in this research, working closely with Professor Davies and other lab members, and be expected to originate project ideas and use existing data to perform a wide variety of studies. The successful candidate will also have opportunities to mentor graduate and undergraduate students.
The starting date for this one year appointment is flexible but expected to be between September 2024 and January 2025. The appointment may be extended, contingent on demonstrated success and continued availability of funding.
The Davies Lab draws on the fields of community and ecosystem ecology, animal behavior, and remote sensing to explore multiple facets of animal-ecosystem interactions. We are part of Harvard’s Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, which is a vibrant community of cross-disciplinary biological scientists at Harvard University.
Postdoc summary/title:– Mitragotri Lab Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Field of Drug Delivery
The Mitragotri Lab is currently hiring for one to two postdoctoral positions in the field of drug delivery – Dr. Samir Mitragotri PI. The project involves development of novel technologies for drug delivery using novel materials.
Join an interdisciplinary research team of the Cluzel laboratory at Harvard that focuses on advancing the frontiers of biological imaging, microfluidics and understanding intracellular processes. We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to develop novel techniques for real-time characterization of intracellular processes using fluorescence microscopy and fluctuation correlation spectroscopy (FCS). Important Note: No formal knowledge in biology is required for this position.
Postdoc summary/title:– Postdoctoral Research Associate in Invertebrate Paleobiology and Evolution
We seek a postdoctoral research associate to join the Laboratory for Invertebrate Paleobiology and Evolution to work on the early evolution of animals with emphasis on the diversity, development, and phylogeny of Paleozoic and/or extant groups. Our current research includes the study of exceptionally preserved Cambrian and Ordovician biotas, design of datasets to test phylogenetic hypotheses, tomographic visualization of the internal anatomy of fossil and extant invertebrates, and fieldwork on fossiliferous Paleozoic localities in North America (more information at https://ortega-hernandezlab.oeb.harvard.edu/). We invite applications from candidates whose interests align with ongoing work on the lab, and are open to discuss research proposals on any of these topics. In particular we currently seek an individual with experience in palynomorph extraction from organic rich shale, and with added expertise and knowledge on microfossil identification and systematics.

Harvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Established in 1636 and named for its first benefactor, clergyman John Harvard, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and among the most prestigious in the world.
The Massachusetts colonial legislature, the General Court, authorized Harvard’s founding. In its early years, Harvard College primarily trained Congregational and Unitarian clergy, although it has never been formally affiliated with any denomination. Its curriculum and student body were gradually secularized during the 18th century, and by the 19th century, Harvard had emerged as the central cultural establishment among the Boston elite. Following the American Civil War, President Charles William Eliot’s long tenure (1869–1909) transformed the college and affiliated professional schools into a modern research university; Harvard became a founding member of the Association of American Universities in 1900. James B. Conant led the university through the Great Depression and World War II; he liberalized admissions after the war.
The university is composed of ten academic faculties plus the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Arts and Sciences offers study in a wide range of academic disciplines for undergraduates and for graduates, while the other faculties offer only graduate degrees, mostly professional. Harvard has three main campuses: the 209-acre (85 ha) Cambridge campus centered on Harvard Yard; an adjoining campus immediately across the Charles River in the Allston neighborhood of Boston; and the medical campus in Boston’s Longwood Medical Area. Harvard’s endowment is valued at $41.9 billion, making it the largest of any academic institution. Endowment income helps enable the undergraduate college to admit students regardless of financial need and provide generous financial aid with no loans.[ The Harvard Library is the world’s largest academic library system, comprising 79 individual libraries holding about 20.4 million items.
