Research Fellow - Computational Cardiology Research

Overview

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.

The laboratory of Dr. Michael Honigberg at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC) and Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard has a unique post‑doctoral fellow position open for a highly qualified applicant interested in investigation at the intersection of cardiovascular, reproductive, and aging biology. The new hire will be appointed as a Research Fellow at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Post‑Doctoral Fellow at Harvard Medical School.

The Honigberg lab aims to advance mechanistic understanding of emerging cardiovascular risk factors and inform new paradigms for health promotion and disease prevention. Current projects focus on pregnancy (e.g., preeclampsia/eclampsia), menopause, aging biology, and novel lipid‑modifying therapies, among other topics.

This position will enable access to resources and opportunities across multiple world‑class institutions. Individuals will work with a range of data types, including genetic datasets such as genotype arrays, whole‑exome and whole‑genome sequencing, single‑cell sequencing, and multi‑omic data (e.g., metabolic, transcriptomic, proteomic, methylation). The successful candidate will work within a dynamic and highly collaborative environment alongside computational biologists, bioinformaticians, epidemiologists, clinicians, research coordinators, students, and medical trainees.

• Investigate the intersection of cardiovascular, reproductive, and aging biology.
• Conduct research using genetic, genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and other multi‑omic data.
• Collaborate with computational biologists, bioinformaticians, epidemiologists, clinicians, and other research staff.
• Advise on emerging cardiovascular risk factors and proposed paradigms for health promotion and disease prevention.

Education:

PhD (required).

Qualified candidates with a PhD should send their CV and a cover letter to Dr. Michael Honigberg at MHONIGBERGVARD.EDU

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. These competencies are used to evaluate performance, make hiring decisions, identify development needs, mobilize employees across our system, and establish a strong talent pipeline.
