Introduction of the Zhang Laboratory
We are part of Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Columbia Initiative in Systems Biology, Motor Neuron Center, and Columbia Stem Cell Initiative at Columbia University Medical Center.
With a mixed dry and wet lab setup focusing on RNA biology in the mammalian nervous system, we have openings for both computational and experimental Postdocs, graduate students, and a technician for highly motivated individuals with relevant backgrounds.
Postdoctoral fellows
Experimental Postdoc: Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or Molecular Neuroscience. Previous experience working on RNA, and mice and/or mammalian cell culture is highly desirable. Exposure to high-throughput techniques such as next-generation sequencing is preferred but not a must.
Computational Postdoc: Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in Computational or Systems Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Sciences or Physics, working in two broad categories: i) statistical machine learning and algorithm development; ii) computational genomics and large-scale biological data analysis.
If you are interested in joining the Zhang lab, Please email Chaolin ( cz2294 [at] columbia [dot] e d u) with i) a cover letter briefly describing potential projects you are interested in and your previous experience; ii) a curriculum vitae; and iii) contacts of three references.
Graduate students
We are looking for graduate students enrolled in the Ph.D. or Ph.D./M.D. program at Columbia University Medical center, who are interested in RNA Systems Biology. Candidates from either the experimental or the computational side are welcome. If you are interested in joining or rotating in the Zhang lab, please email Chaolin ( cz2294 [at] columbia [dot] e d u).
Technician
We are looking for a technician with a track record in Molecular Biology and Biochemical work. Previous experience working on RNA, and mice and/or mammalian cell culture is highly preferred. If you are interested in joining or rotating in the Zhang lab, please email Chaolin ( cz2294 [at] columbia [dot] e d u).
