Fang Lab
Department of Genetics and
Genomic Sciences
Institute for Data Science and
Genomic Technology
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount
Sinai
Opening: We are looking for a Research
Manager and/or Research
Associate and/or Research
Technician, who will play an important and integral role
across our research efforts across bacteria, microbiome and
human/host. Great opportunity to conduct research in a highly
innovative and growing Epigenetics lab in a top-ranked medical
school, while learning hands-on cutting edge experiments,
sequencing methods and data analysis. Excellent funding is in
place and this is a position with a long-term outlook.
Our lab (http://fanglab.bio/)
has rick experience in multi-omics and systems biology of human
diseases. We pioneered the fast growing young field of bacterial
epigenomics (Nature Biotechnology, 2012; Nature Reviews
Genetics, 2018, Nature Microbiology, 2020), and the use of
microbial methylation for high resolution microbiome analysis (Nature
Biotechnology, 2018; Nature Methods, 2021). We also have
unique expertise in long read sequencing (both PacBio and
Nanopore), and systems biology (Molecular Psychiatry, 2014;
Cell Reports, 2016; Nature Communication, 2019; Genome Research,
2018; Nature Genetics, 2019; Nature Microbiology, 2020).
The successful candidate will have:
1) A unique opportunity to learn cutting edge technologies,
experimental protocols and our expertise.
2) An opportunity to participate and contribute to innovative
research projects.
3) An opportunity to play lead role in research projects.
4) Opportunity to learn skills in bioinformatics and
computational biology.
The candidate is expected to learn and perform the following
1) Conduct molecular lab procedures including DNA/RNA isolation,
bacterial culturing, sample preparation for sequencing, gel
electrophoresis, qPCR.
2) Prepare libraries and perform long reads sequencing.
3) Assist with development of new/cutting edge protocols for the
lab.
4) Assist with research project development and management
5) Be willing to face challenges, collaborate extensively with
co-workers, and creatively innovate on solutions to problems
that arise.
Minimum Qualifications: BS with at least 2 year of lab
experience (either during or after BS study), or a MS degree.
Candidates with experience in any of the following are
encouraged to apply: DNA/RNA isolation and manipulation,
microbiome research, PCR/qPCR, bacterial culture, epigenetics
etc. Experience in bioinformatics or sequencing would be
beneficial but not necessary.
How to apply: Please send the following to
fanggang@gmail.com: 1) A brief cover letter, 2) Resume, 3)
Contact information of at least two references (letters will be
requested only after interview).
