美国康奈尔大学生物医学方向国外博士后职位招聘

Postdoctoral Associate – Biomedical and Single-Cell Genomics - Cornell University – De Vlaminck group : Ithaca, NY, United States

 

 

A position for a postdoctoral associate is available for work related to biomedical and single cell genomics in the group of Iwijn De Vlaminck at Cornell University.

 

Job description and profile requirements

**

Research opportunities are available in three areas: 1) Exploiting the phenomenon of circulating cell-free DNA for the monitoring of a wide range of diseases and conditions, including infection and immune-related complications. 2) Monitoring of immunotherapies in solid-organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation via single-cell profiling technologies, and 3) The development and application of methodologies for spatial metagenomic sequencing.

 

We are looking for a technically skilled and creative researcher that can effectively communicate with our clinical collaborators. The ideal candidate will have a track record of publications in leading journals, and will have excellent writing and communication skills. Prior experience with bioinformatics or molecular biology is desirable but not required. Candidates with a background in (bio)-physics are encouraged to apply. Candidate requirements further include a Ph.D or M.D./Ph.D. degrees (already obtained or soon to be).

 

The candidate will have the possibility to carry out impactful research in an exciting and rapidly moving field. The candidate will collaborate and regularly interact with clinician scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College, and the National Institutes of Health. The candidate will be supported with a competitive postdoctoral salary. We offer excellent working conditions in state-of-the art facilities.

 

Applicants should respond via email with a curriculum vitae, a description of research interests and career goals, and contact information for three professional references.

 

About the group

**

We are a biomedical and single cell genomics lab in the biomedical engineering department of Cornell University (Ithaca, NY). Our mission is to develop novel measurement principles in molecular diagnostics and single cell biology. Our research brings approaches from biophysics and genomics to biomedicine. Most of our work exploits next-generation DNA sequencing. We are located on the Ithaca campus of Cornell University and offer a creative interdisciplinary research environment.
