The Tsai Laboratory is seeking dynamic and creative candidates for a fully supported postdoctoral fellowship on genome editing technologies for therapeutic treatment of genetic disorders. You will have the opportunity to lead new projects in this exciting space such as: Developing and advancing genomic methods to define and measure gene editing “off-target” effects of precise base and prime editors for use in clinical applications, Developing novel strategies for editing of hematopoietic stem cells of genetic mutations, etc. You will gain extensive experience and training in gene editing, protein engineering, and high-throughput genome biology.
Successful applicants will have a strong publication record, excellent writing skills, and a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, genomics, or a related area. To succeed in this position, you will have a strong molecular and cell biology background, with an emphasis on molecular cloning and genetic manipulation of mammalian cells. If you have additional experience with genome editing, hematopoietic stem cells, next-generation sequencing, protein purification, or automated liquid handling you are strongly encouraged to apply.
