A new project in our laboratory at Harvard Medical School focuses on studying the biology of mammalian torpor and hibernation. Our lab has an exceptional track record of training young scientists. This position is ideal for highly organized, motivated, and hard-working individuals seeking to launch their careers in academia or medicine. Torpor and hibernation are some of the most fascinating natural adaptations of warm-blooded animals. How birds and mammals initiate, regulate, and survive these extraordinary hypometabolic and hypothermic states remains a fundamental question of homeotherm biology, the understanding of which could have profound medical applications. Investigating the mechanisms that adaptively regulate metabolism could provide new approaches to modulate hum
