Our funded projects utilize various functional genomic tools (CRISPR manipulation, RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq, single-cell multi-omics). Preferred Qualifications The successful candidates will join a multidisciplinary and collaborative team investigating biological questions ranging from basic human genome science to tumor genomics and epigenomics. The candidates will regularly interact with bioinformaticians to design new experiments and have the opportunity to test their hypotheses computationally. The lab has deep expertise in CRISPR-based genome manipulation technologies and functional genome mapping tools.- We are looking for a wet lab experimental molecular biologist.
