Postdoctoral Researcher

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

About the Role

The Jiang Lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow. The lab's goal is to evolve CRISPR-based genome editing tools into next-generation gene therapies for human genetic diseases.

Key Responsibilities

• Engineer advanced CRISPR tools to correct or model defective genomic DNA.
• Deliver engineered editors into targeted organs (e.g., lung) to correct phenotypes.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Expertise in genome editing.
• Expertise in molecular biology.
• Expertise in mammalian cell culture.
• Expertise in cell transfection.
• Expertise in electroporation.
• PhD degree.
• Proficient experience in cell culture, transfection, electroporation, or/and stem cell culture and differentiation.
• Experience with molecular biology-related experiments.
• Experience with mouse experiments.
• Proofs of the ability to independently lead a project.
• Good written and oral communication skills.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in mouse models (e.g., in vivo delivery strategy) is highly preferred.
