The Mass General Brigham Healthcare Training Program (T32) in Precision & Genomic Medicine is co-led by Jordan W. Smoller, MD, ScD and Heidi Rehm, PhD and supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). Our faculty comprises a broad range of leading scientists affiliated with the Mass General Brigham Healthcare System (including Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital), Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine, Boston Children’s Hospital, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. We seek talented applicants with a commitment to training in the diverse domains of precision and genomic medicine, including medical genetics and genomics, data science, molecular medicine, and implementation science.

Applications for postdoctoral fellows to begin May 2025 are OPEN

The MGB Training Program in Precision & Genomic Medicine, co-led by Jordan W. Smoller, MD, ScD and Heidi Rehm PhD, FACMG, brings together three outstanding components to build a world-class training program in precision and genomic medicine:

  1. an internationally-recognized faculty with expertise in precision and genomic medicine across a broad range of disciplines,
  2. outstanding institutional resources bridging clinical, genomic, and data sciences, and
  3. deep engagement with cutting edge, collaborative initiatives at the regional, national, and international levels to provide rich training experiences.

Funding is for 2-years and awards cover salary, travel to professional meetings, and other training-related expenses. Trainees will perform research in their respective Mentor’s lab but will participate in all T32 training related requirements (meetings, journal club, etc.) throughout the Mass General Brigham Healthcare System.
