College Students: The lab is accepting highly motivated candidates with some research experience for summer internship (volunteer-based) to study stem cell and cancer related projects under the guidance of postdoc fellows or PhD students in the lab.
Prospective Graduate Students: You should apply directly to the Graduate School of Columbia University. Once admitted to the PhD program, you can apply for the rotation opportunity in our lab.
Rotation PhD Students: The lab is open to highly motivated and qualified PhD candidates to study pluripotency, reprogramming, development and cancers using pluripotent/cancer stem cell and transgenic/knockout mouse model systems, and explore potential PhD thesis research opportunity in our lab.
Prospective Postdoctoral Fellows: Postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Jianlong Wang, Department of Medicine, Columbia Center of Human Development, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York City.
The overall interest of the lab is to understand the molecular mechanisms of stem cell potency (pluripotency and totipotency) and cellular reprogramming in both mouse and human systems. Particularly, we are interested in transcriptional, post-transcriptional (RNA modification), epigenetic and epitranscriptomic control of gene expression in regulating stem cell potency, early development and cancer. We employ protein/RNA biochemistry, DNA and molecular biology, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics to study stem cell biology and early development. Applicants should have a PhD and/or M.D. degree in life sciences with strong experimental skills including proficiency with cell/tissue culture, biochemistry and molecular biology and other basic laboratory techniques. Research experience in cancer biology and disease modeling in mouse or using human induced pluripotent stem cells is a plus. In addition to being self-motivated, the ability to work independently and as part of team with good communication skills are highly desirable. Previous experience in the related areas is preferred but not required.
Columbia University is an equal opportunity employer.
To apply:
Qualified applicants should submit via e-mail a C.V., a cover letter to demonstrate your qualification, and a list of three names as professional references to: jw3925@cumc.columbia.edu
