We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join the Schulman Laboratory (https://hemostasis.bidmc.org/people/sol-schulman-md-phd/) in the Division of Hemostasis and Thrombosis at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Our lab combines functional genomics, human and rodent genetics, cell biology, and protein biochemistry to dissect the initiation of blood coagulation with a focus on the tissue factor pathway.
Our team is well integrated into the collegial Division of Hemostasis and Thrombosis at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. In addition, our laboratory is situated in the heart of the Longwood medical area and adjacent to Harvard Medical School, enabling immediate access to vast educational opportunities, technical resources, and clinical/scientific expertise.
Applicants should have an M.D., Ph.D., or M.D./Ph.D. degree, substantial research experience, and a commensurate publication record. Proficiency in modern molecular biology techniques is essential.
Interested applicants should email a CV to Sol Schulman (sschulm1@bidmc.harvard.edu)

Come learn Data Science using Python in a fun, beginner-friendly environment!
Key Dates:
This Python Data Science Bootcamp is a free workshop designed to help scientists in the biological and biomedical sciences gain basic Python skills required for applications in data science. No prior programming experience is required. Using Python, we will cover the core programming concepts needed to perform basic data analysis, with an emphasis on common problems in biology. By the end, we hope you will feel comfortable using Python to analyze your own data!
The course will begin with an optional semi-supervised completion of a Python course on CodeAcademy designed to get students comfortable with the basics of python at their own pace. Students completing this portion will be assisted via online office hours where they can receive help from GCB students. While completing the CodeAcademy course is strongly encouraged, if you feel confident in your basic Python abilities and are more interested in the applied lectures, this is not strictly required.
The CodeAcademy portion will be followed by 6 weekly lectures by our TAs on using Python to perform common data science tasks. Lectures will be accompanied by programming exercises. There will also be an active online Q&A forum where you can get help throughout the classes.
Note that if you have to miss a class or are not able to attend at all, lectures will be posted, and you can still participate with the Q&A forum.
Register for the classes using the form below (Deadline: June 7th):

Programming Bootcamp is sponsored by the Genomics & Computational Biology (GCB) graduate program.
The NIH Structural Biology and Molecular Biophysics (SBTG) pre-doctoral training program is soliciting applications for appointments beginning September 1, 2020 and running through August 31, 2021.This training program
The trainees meet with training faculty and outside speakers during an extended luncheon held monthly. The past schedules can be found on the BMB website: https://www.med.upenn.edu/sbmbt32/administrative-structure.html
The program supports 3rd year Ph.D. students and 4th year for combined degree students for one year. Applications are now being accepted from rising 3rd year Ph.D students or rising 4th year combined degree students only for appointment to the 2020-2021 year of the training program.
Preference will be given to students who attended the 2019-2020 pre-award meetings. Students who have not taken BMB 508 will be required to take this core course concurrently with an appointment to the training program.
The following documents should be sent to the SBMB training grant coordinator, Kelli McKenna, via email. Please fill out the cover sheet on the next page and assemble all required documents into a single PDF document:
The applicant should also arrange for the Ph.D. advisor to send 1) A letter of recommendation. 2) their biosketch in NIH format,directly to the SBMB training grant coordinator, Kelli McKenna
12 pm, Friday June 19, 2020.
Applications will be evaluated by a small group of trainers and appointments announced in early July. The start date for appointments will be September 1, 2019.
First or second year post-docs and graduate students who are within 12 months of defending their PhD are highly encouraged to apply to MD Anderson Cancer Center’s CPRIT TRIUMPH Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.
Program Description:
The Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) TRIUMPH Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at MD Anderson Cancer Center is a post-doctoral program providing unique training in clinical and translational research. The immediate goal of our program is to recruit talented and productive PhDs and train them to pursue clinical and/or translational research through didactic coursework as well as clinical rotations and a unique mentorship. A long-term goal of this program is to produce scientists who can be paired with suitable physician scientists to co-PI a research laboratory.
The CPRIT TRIUMPH Program is a three-year training program. The first year, postdoctoral fellows participate in a series of didactic clinical course work offered at the MD Anderson UTHealth Graduate School (GSBS), MD Anderson Cancer Center, or the UTHealth McGovern School of Medicine and strategically matched clinical rotations, while pursuing research in a basic or translational research laboratory. Second and third year fellows are co-mentored by a basic science/translational scientist mentor and a physician/clinical scientist mentor on clinical/translational research projects. The expectation for our post-docs is that by the end of their 3-year training, they will have first authored manuscripts high impact journals. Our multidisciplinary training program will award a certificate upon completion.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is currently accepting applications for the CPRIT TRIUMPH Postdoctoral Fellowship in Translational Cancer Research. This three-year fellowship provides basic, translational, and clinical training and aims to further develop talented PhD or MD/PhDs into successful clinical/translational research scientists. Applications are reviewed quarterly with the next cycle due dates of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020. Additional information regarding eligibility, application process, and current trainees and program alumni profiles are found at www.mdanderson.org/CPRITTRIUMPH.
