Biology Position Description The Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Evolutionary and Developmental Genetics Laboratory of Dr. Terence D. Capellini. The focus of the position will be to study the genetic and developmental basis of human-specific adaptations and disease. The lab primarily concentrates on musculoskeletal adaptations in

humans and primates, with an important research focus on identifying causal genetic variants that mediate human phenotypes. The lab uses a variety of experimental (functional genomic, targeted genetic) and computational (bioinformatics) tools on human and mouse tissues and using in vitro methods on human cells, to explore the consequences of genetics variants on human biology. This is a multi-year position, expected

to begin in Winter 2025, with possibility of yearly renewal dependent upon adequate funding and satisfactory performance. The research will take place in the Evolutionary and Developmental Genetics Laboratory directed by Dr. Capellini and located in the Peabody Museum on Harvard University’s Cambridge, Massachusetts campus. The lab’s website is: http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/evolutionary_genetics/home Basic
