Postdoctoral Positions in Spatial Genomics: The Fang Lab of Neurogenomics at Stanford University’s School of Medicine and Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fellows. The successful candidates will focus on developing and applying cutting-edge technologies in spatial transcriptomics, single-cell sequencing, and machine learning to explore molecular and cellular mechanisms of cell communication in complex tissues, particularly in the human brain and tumors.
Postdoctoral Positions in Spatial Genomics & Tissue Biology
Designation:
Postdoctoral Fellow
Research Area:
Spatial Genomics, Tissue Biology, Single-Cell Sequencing, Machine Learning
Location:
Stanford University, Stanford School of Medicine, USA
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Education: Doctoral degree (or equivalent) in Genomics, Bioengineering, Biochemistry, or related fields.
- Experience:
- Developing single-cell sequencing technologies is highly desirable.
- A computational background is advantageous.
- Prior experience with optical imaging is a strong plus.
- Skills:
- Creative, highly motivated, and problem-solving mindset.
