Postdoctoral & Research Associate Positions in Microbiology & Systems Biology | | |
|
|
The Jiang Lab (www.jianglab.org) at Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York invites applications for Postdoctoral Research Scientist and Research Associate positions in microbiology, microbial engineering and systems biology. We welcome individuals with experimental and/or computational backgrounds to apply. Candidates with specialties in antimicrobial resistance, single-cell RNA-sequencing, CRISPR and various systems biology approaches are highly sought after. To apply, please send your CV and the names and contact details of two or three references to wenyanjianglab@gmail.com
Over the last decade, the PI (Dr. Wenyan Jiang) developed revolutionary technologies that enhance the precision, throughput and resolution for bacterial genomics and transcriptomics. These include development of the very first CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing (Nature Biotech 2013, >2,000 citation) and gene expression modulation technology (Nucleic Acids Research 2013, >1,000 citation) in bacteria; a high-throughput bacterial functional genomics platform called CALM (Cell 2020); and the first bacterial high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology called PETRI-seq (Nature Microbiol 2020). Using these technologies, Jiang lab aims to study microbiology at a systems-level, such as understanding bacterial genetic architecture, evolution, single-cell behaviors, microbe-phage, and host-microbe interactions. The fundamental principles we learn from these studies could help us develop more effective antimicrobial drugs, and engineer commensal bacteria to promote human health.
