Postdoc Fellows: Long Reads,
Alternative Splicing and Human Diseases
Fang Lab Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences Institute for Data Science and Genomic Technology Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Our lab (http://fanglab.bio/)
has rich experience in long read sequencing technology (both
PacBio and Oxford Nanopore), systems biology and precision
medicine. We use long read sequencing to make new discoveries
from the human genome, epigenome and transcriptome (Genome
Research, 2018; Nature Genetics, 2019; Science, 2022). We also pioneered the
fast growing field of bacterial epigenomics (Nature
Biotechnology, 2012; Nature Reviews Genetics, 2018, Nature
Microbiology, 2020), and the use of DNA methylation for high
resolution microbiome analysis (Nature Biotechnology, 2018;
Nature Methods, 2021).
Openings: We are looking for highly motivated PostDoc
Fellows to (1) develop innovative long read sequencing
based methods to study alternative splicing; (2) make new
discoveries in basic biology and translate them into medical
impact.
Successful candidates will have unique opportunities
with (i) a
highly interdisciplinary and innovative lab culture where
members with dry/wet background closely discuss and learn from
each other; (ii) our
unique expertise in long read sequencing, multi-omics, rich
clinical samples and strong collaborators; (iii) take
the lead role in projects developing cutting edge, pioneering
technologies with high biomedical and clinical impact; (iv) strong
mentorship in both research and career development; (v) Compensations
are highly competitive with subsidized housing in New York City.
Requirements:
1) Candidates with computational and/or experimental background
are both welcome.
2) Previous research experience in alternative splicing
is required.
3) Previous experience in long read sequencing is a plus
but not required;
4) Ability to learn and master new knowledge and
technologies,
5) Abilities to lead an independent research direction
while adapting to a collaborative environment,
6) An innovative yet critical thinker.
How to apply: Please send the following to
fanggang@gmail.com: 1) A brief cover letter, 2) CV with a list
of publications, 3) PDF files for the papers in which you are
first/co-first author.
Thank you for your
interests!
