The posting

Site: The General Hospital Corporation

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 Stanton Laboratory in the Center for Genomic Medicine (CGM) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is seeking a motivated, enthusiastic candidate to join our research group.

Our research group is utilizing molecular biology techniques to develop technologies that can enable drug and gene delivery to the brain. The BBB has prevented multiple drugs—and especially gene therapies— from reaching the brain. A significant number of neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders have genetic causes, which could be corrected using modern gene editing technologies. However, these therapies can only be effective once they are delivered to the impacted cells in the brain, which has continued to prove to be a challenge. The candidate who will join this project will join a team working on a delivery system that can deliver genetic therapies to the brain, which could allow the treatment of many currently untreatable diseases of the brain. We are heavily utilizing molecular biology techniques in our work, and your day to day work would entail significant amounts of molecular biology.

Qualifications

In this project you would perform work in:

  • Molecular biology techniques.
  • Gene delivery vehicle production and characterization.
  • In vitro and in vivo assays for gene delivery.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
