Our lab (fanglab.bio/) has rich experience in epigenomics (Nature Biotechnology, 2012; Nature Reviews Genetics, 2018, Nature Microbiology, 2020), long read sequencing (Genome Research, 2018; Nature Genetics, 2019), high resolution microbiome analysis (Nature Biotechnology, 2018; Nature Methods, 2021), and systems biology (Molecular Psychiatry, 2014; Cell Reports, 2016; Nature Communication, 2019; Nature Microbiology, 2020)
Openings: We are looking for highly motivated PostDoc Fellows to (1) develop innovative machine learning and AI models for advanced analyses of human diseases; (2) integrate multiple types of -omics data to discover novel disease mechanisms and translate new discoveries into medical impacts.
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) Rich experience in one of the following GWAS, exome or whole genome association analyses of human diseases.
2) Familiar with statistical genetics and/or machine learning.
3) Experience in eQTL or TWAS is a plus but not necessary.
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.
