Hi all,
I am looking for a postdoc to start in my lab soon (spring or summer,
but feel free to email if you might be interested in fall/winter). The
full ad is below, or you can find details
here:http://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/5422.
Also, I'll be advertising for a lab technician very soon as well (keep
an eye out here and at the Harvard positions page for that). And I'll be
accepting graduate students in Fall 2015 (applications due this fall).
So if you know of any excellent applicants for any of these positions,
please let me know.
Thanks.
