Postdoctoral Research Associate, Sanjana Lab
1 month ago
The Sanjana Lab at the New York Genome Center (NYGC) and New York University (NYU) is looking for a motivated individual to work as a Postdoctoral Research Associate within a highly creative and dynamic research team of scientists, bioengineers, human geneticists and computational biologists. The successful candidate will be mentored by Dr. Neville Sanjana on a project related to functional genomics and gene editing. Potential projects include Cas13-based profiling of noncoding RNAs in human neurons, in vivo CRISPR screens for immune and cancer phenotypes, protein design of new gene editors and cell therapies, and massively-parallel perturbations of enhancers and other functional noncoding genome elements.
About the lab
The Sanjana lab works at the intersection of genomics, synthetic biology and bioengineering. We are curious about many things and are passionate about what we do. We primarily develop new technologies for hacking and understanding biological systems. We try to learn from nature and to re-purpose what we learn to gain deeper insights into how genomes and neural systems function. In the lab, we modify genomes, perform high-throughput screens, differentiate human neurons from stem cells, find vulnerabilities in cancer cells using patient-derived organoids and have a lot of fun in the process. We aim to have a tangible impact on improving human health by creating new biological tools and fundamental biological discovery.
About the position
We are looking for a postdoctoral scientist eager to understand the impact of human genetic variation on gene expression and phenotypes at the cellular, tissue and physiological levels. Potential projects will combine cutting-edge human genetics and genome technology development. In addition, we envision that the postdoctoral scientist will play a major role in developing new projects in a supportive team science environment.
To be considered for this role, please provide: 1) CV with a list of publications; 2) a short summary of your present and future research interests; 3) a list of three references and their contact information with your application.
Required Skills
The ideal candidate will hold a PhD or MD-PhD, have prior research experience in any of the following: molecular biology, biochemistry, computational biology and/or functional genomics and will have first-author publications. The candidate will be expected to plan and carry out research tasks independently and write-up/present findings on a regular basis. This position can be tailored to a candidate with strong molecular biology skills who are looking to improve their computational skills, or to a candidate with a stronger background in computational genetics or genomics looking to develop expertise in cutting-edge experimental methods.
