What are the typical daily responsibilities of a molecular neuroscience researcher?

Molecular Neuroscience researchers typically spend their days designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, and interpreting results to understand the molecular mechanisms underpinning brain function and neurological diseases. This often involves extensive laboratory work with specialized techniques, as well as documenting findings and preparing reports or manuscripts for publication. Collaboration with colleagues, such as other scientists, graduate students, and laboratory technicians, is common to share insights and troubleshoot challenges. Regular meetings to discuss research progress or plan future studies are also a key part of the role.

What is a molecular neuroscience?

A Molecular Neuroscience job involves studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying nervous system function and disorders. Professionals in this field analyze genes, proteins, and signaling pathways that affect brain function and development. They work in academic research, biotechnology, or pharmaceutical industries, contributing to advancements in neurodegenerative disease treatment, drug development, and neural circuit analysis. Typical roles include research scientists, laboratory technicians, and bioinformaticians specializing in neuroscience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the molecular neuroscience position?

To thrive in Molecular Neuroscience, you typically need an advanced degree (PhD or MSc) in neuroscience, biology, or a related field, as well as proficiency in molecular biology techniques such as PCR, Western blotting, and cell culture. Familiarity with laboratory management systems, imaging platforms, and data analysis software like ImageJ or MATLAB is usually expected. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication abilities set top candidates apart. These competencies are essential to ensure accurate data generation, successful collaboration in multidisciplinary teams, and the advancement of research objectives.

Job description

Site: Massachusetts General Physicians Organization, Inc.


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

The salary range for this position is $70,000 to $ 71,750 annually.
Please send you CV/Resume, Cover Letter and References directly to: Dr. Elisabetta Morini EMORINI@mgh.harvard.edu for this position. A linked application is not available.
The Morini Laboratory at the Center for Genomic Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our translational research team focused on developing novel therapeutic strategies for Familial Dysautonomia (FD), a rare neurodegenerative disease.
This project aims to evaluate the efficacy of gene editing approaches and small-molecule splicing modulators in a mouse model of FD. The successful candidate will lead in vivo studies and apply molecular, cellular, and genomic approaches to assess therapeutic outcomes.
We are seeking a creative, independent, and collaborative scientist with a strong background in molecular neuroscience, gene editing, RNA biology, or neurogenetics. Experience working with mouse models, including behavioral assays and molecular analysis of tissues, is highly desirable.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the interface of basic science and translational medicine within a collaborative and highly supportive environment. Our lab is part of the MGH/Harvard/Broad Institute ecosystem, providing access to state-of-the-art resources and a vibrant scientific community.
Duties and responsibilities:
Design and conduct in vivo efficacy studies to test gene editing strategies and/or compounds in FD mice.
Perform downstream analyses, including RNA/protein quantification, splicing analysis, and histological assessments.
Lead the development and optimization of therapeutic delivery and molecular assays.
Collaborate with internal and external researchers and contribute to mentorship of junior lab members.
Prepare manuscripts, present findings at scientific meetings, and contribute to grant applications.
The ideal candidate should have received (or expect to receive soon) a Doctoral degree, preferred Ph.D. in neuroscience, cell or molecular biology, human genetics, biochemistry, or related field.


Qualifications

EDUCATION:
Minimum Required: Doctoral Degree
EXPERIENCE:
Required: Doctoral degree
Preferred: Ph.D. in neuroscience, molecular biology, genetics, or a related field.

Desired skills and competencies:
Molecular biology techniques including DNA, RNA, and protein isolation and manipulation (RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, western blotting)
Good understanding of genetic methodologies, with experience in cloning, CRISPR/Cas genetic editing techniques, genomic sequencing
Some level of cell culture experience, including cell lines generation, transfection/transduction, selection, propagation, preservation, and phenotypic characterization
Prior experience with rodent models, gene editing, or RNA splicing is strongly preferred.
Some experience with microscopy imaging and immuno-cytochemistry (IHC) techniques
Histological and immune-histochemical techniques.
First (or co-first) author of one or more peer-reviewed scientific publications
Excellent English verbal and written communication skills
Able to work both independently and in a team
