Title Postdoctoral Fellow Whipple Lab
School Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Department/Area Molecular and Cellular Biology
Position Description
A postdoctoral position is available in the Whipple Laboratory at Harvard University to
study epigenetic regulation in the mammalian brain. Our research focuses on genomic
imprinting—an epigenetic phenomenon in which genes are expressed in a parent-of-
origin–specific manner—and its critical roles in brain development, growth, behavior, and
learning. The significance of imprinted genes is underscored by the diverse neural and
behavioral phenotypes associated with their dysregulation.
The successful candidate will investigate the molecular mechanisms that establish and maintain genomic
imprinting and define the functions of imprinted non-coding RNAs in neurophysiology
and neurodevelopmental disorders.
