Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.
Job Summary
Under the direction of Dr. Fabrisia Ambrosio at Harvard Medical School & Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, the post-doctoral fellow will lead a multidisciplinary project mechanistically investigating the systems-level mechanisms that drive age-related musculoskeletal decline and impaired tissue regeneration. We use a combination of multi-omics profiling, network medicine approaches, and in vivo models of musculoskeletal aging to understand how molecular and cellular changes across tissues contribute to diseases such as osteoarthritis. Our long-term goal is to develop targeted, mechanism-based strategies to enhance musculoskeletal health and functional recovery in aging populations. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in molecular or systems biology, mechanobiology, aging, or musculoskeletal science, and a passion for translational research. Individuals with experience in analyzing transcriptomic or proteomic data, or in using computational models to study tissue crosstalk are particularly encouraged to apply.
Qualifications
• Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Cell Biology, Synthetic Biology or related field strongly preferred.
• Strong background in mechanobiology and 3D cell culture is desirable.
• Ability to demonstrate strong verbal and written communication skills with the English language strongly preferred.
• Ability to work independently, be self-directed.
• Willingness to contribute as a member of a team and support other projects as needed.
• Anticipates challenges and develops and implements strategies for addressing them.

EEO Statement:
At Mass General Brigham, our competency framework defines what effective leadership “looks like” by specifying which behaviors are most critical for successful performance at each job level. The framework is comprised of ten competencies (half People-Focused, half Performance-Focused) and are defined by observable and measurable skills and behaviors that contribute to workplace effectiveness and career success.
