The Song Lab at Icahn school of medicine at Mount Sinai (
https://labs.icahn.mssm.edu/songlab/)
is seeking talented individuals who can fulfill the responsibilities and requirements below to apply for post-doctoral positions in our lab.
Our interdisciplinary team led by Associate Professor Won-Min Song applies network
theory and systems biology to large-scale multi-omics data, generated from human
cohorts to individual cells from complex genetic diseases. Our projects include cancer
genomics (melanoma: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21457-0, gastric:

(https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004574).
The Position
This position will help building a collaboration network across multiple institutes and a
track record that enables to apply for collaborative research funding and independent
research fellowship.
Specific roles include (but not limited to) the following:
1. Develop novel molecular network inference algorithm to integrate bulk and
single-cell sequencing data,
2. Lead and carry out research projects in the broad area of systems biology, and
single-cell multi-omics.
3. Prepare and publish work on scientific journals and present scientific results in
national/international conferences.
4. Develop and co-supervise research projects for undergraduate and graduate
research students.
5. Build collaboration with different labs in ISMMS and across multiple
institutes/universities at New York and beyond.
