Join the Lab

Building the next generation of scientists

We are interested in recruiting scientists from diverse backgrounds, life experiences, and areas of expertise. Individuals with experimental, as well as computational experience are encouraged to apply. We are always interested in growing our team at all levels, from undergraduate students to postdoctoral and clinical fellows. We aim to foster a supportive and collaborative training environment that enables our trainees to develop their skills as scientists, values their contributions, and nurtures both their professional and personal progress, allowing them to launch into whatever next path they desire.

If you are interested in joining the group, please read about available positions below.

We welcome and encourage our lab members’ differences in age, ethnicity, race, gender identity or expression, ability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, familial or marital status, language, national origin, political affiliation, religious beliefs, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our lab members who they are.

How to Join

Please write to Jose with your research statement and CV. Please be prepared to have three letters of reference sent on your behalf.
For enrolled students in a Harvard Medical School-affiliated graduate program (e.g. Immunology, BBS, Virology, Neuroscience, Systems Biology, and others), physician-scientist training (e.g. MD/PhD) or a Harvard University-based program (e.g. MCB, OEB, and others), please write to Jose with your CV to set up a time to discuss your current interests and our ongoing research projects in the lab. Direct or jointly-mentored positions and rotation projects are available, as well as informal discussions and service on thesis committees.
Please write to Jose with your cover letter and CV, as well as a rough timeline of when you would be able to start and how long you would be in the lab for.
University-level students are encouraged to write to Jose about summer or academic-year research projects (if local). For academic-year inquiries, please include your CV and a rough estimate of how long you’d like to work in the lab.
We welcome international visiting researchers and students. Please reach out to Jose early so we can best assist you with visa requirements and fellowship applications. In your initial email, please include your CV and cover letter or research statement (postdoctoral level).
