The Feng lab is looking for a Post-doctoral Research Fellow. Dr. Di Feng is Assistant Professor of Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. Her lab integrates the latest techniques across multiple disciplines to understand mechanisms of podocyte- and tubular-mediated kidney disease. These techniques include organ-on-a-chip technology, intravital microscopy, CRISPR gene editing, stem cell engineering, and mass spectrometry, among others. Dr. Feng’s work has been published in the field’s leading journals, including Cell Metabolism, PNAS, and JASN.
The Post-doctoral fellow will be a key member of our team, leading one or more projects that match career goals and interests. Projects span rare familial forms of kidney disease to common forms of kidney disease—such as diabetic nephropathy—as well as renal drivers of systemic disease—such as salt-sensitive hypertension. The fellow will have the opportunity to learn the above skills and more under close mentorship. The position comes with an appointment at Harvard Medical School and access to cutting-edge technology and resources across Harvard Medical School and affiliated hospitals and institutions.
