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.
