Research and Training Opportunities in the Kirby Laboratory
The Kirby Laboratory welcomes motivated undergraduate and high school students interested in research in antimicrobial discovery, clinical microbiology, and translational infectious disease science.. In recent years, students from Massachusetts high schools, as well as undergraduates and postgraduates from Northeastern University, Harvard University, Boston University, Wellesley College, and the University of Massachusetts, have had productive research experiences in the laboratory. Several current and former lab members also completed research training during gap years before or during medical school. Students interested in research or volunteer opportunities should contact James Kirby and/or Yanqin Huang, PhD. Please include a curriculum vitae (CV) and a brief statement of research interests in your inquiry.
Entry level cytogenetics technologist positions immediately available in our clinical cytogenetics laboratory. An excellent opportunity for gap years before applying to medical school. Please see: https://www.cytogeneticslab.org
Postdoctoral fellow positions are not currently available in the Kirby Laboratory. Individuals seeking immediate postdoctoral opportunities are encouraged to explore collaborative laboratories, including those of George O’Doherty and Roman Manetsch at Northeastern University (medicinal chemistry), and Ed Yu at Case Western Reserve University Medical Center, which offer complementary training environments. Although not immediately available, postdoctoral fellowship positions may become available in the future.
