About this position
The Jiang Lab (https://labs.icahn.mssm.edu/jianglab/) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with expertise in genome editing and primary cell culture. Experience in lung-targeted mouse studies (e.g., intranasal/intratracheal deliver, and airway biology) is highly preferred. The goal of our lab is to evolve CRISPR-based genome editing tools into next-generation gene therapies to treat those untreatable human genetic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis. To achieve this, we will engineer advanced CRISPR tools to correct or model the defective genomic DNA, and further deliver these newly-engineered editors into targeted organs, e.g., lung, to correct the corresponding phenotypes. The position offers a competitive salary, subsidized housing, and exposure to a highly translational and vibrant research environment at Mount Sinai and the New York City area.
The qualified candidate should have:
PhD degree Proficient experience in molecular coloning, cell culture, transfection, electroporation, and stem cell culture and differentiation. Experience with molecular biology-related experiments and mouse experiments. Proofs of the ability to independently lead a project Good written and oral communication skills Please send your CV and the names of three references to Dr. Tingting Jiang (tingting.jiang@mssm.edu)

Some positions — especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland — are filled by writing directly to the supervisor rather than through an online form. These addresses were taken from the advert text, so check them against the official listing before you write.
A cold email to a supervisor is the highest-leverage thing you can send — and the easiest to get wrong. Ask us to look at yours before you hit send.
