The Faden Lab is seeking a highly motivated post-doc to join our team of scientists and clinicians working at the forefront of cancer biomarkers and diagnostics.

Our lab is housed within the Simches Research Center at Mass General Hospital and is affiliated with Mass Eye and Ear, Mass General, Harvard Medical School, and the Broad Institute of MIT.
