The laboratory of Dr. Bishuang Cai in the Department of Medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking TWO self-motivated postdoctoral fellows to join the team to lead multiple NIH-funded projects (2 R01s and 1 R35). The Cai lab focuses on the cellular mechanisms of cardiometabolic diseases including atherosclerosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Particularly, the team investigates how inflammation becomes defective and how immune cells interact with other cells in cardiometabolic diseases. The lab applies technologies such as transgenic mouse models, human genetics, single-cell/nuclei RNA sequencing, iPSC, genome-wide CRISPR screening, and a variety of cell and molecular techniques to study those important questions. For more information on research projects in the lab, please refer to the following recent publications (Cell Metab 2020, Cell 2019, JCI 2017, PNAS 2016) and the lab website: labs.icahn.mssm.edu

The postdoctoral fellows will be provided with affordable Sinai housing and competitive salary with the health benefits according to the university standard. Moreover, postdoctoral fellows will have tremendous support from the PI and the department to build up their own career path, e.g. grant writing, networking/presentation in conferences, and publishing.

The qualified candidates should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field such as cell biology, molecular biology, immunology, or metabolism. Priority will be given to candidates who have mastered the following research experimental skills including mouse handling, iPSC culture and CRISPR editing.

Job Duties
o Works with the PI on developing hypotheses and designing experiments.
o Conducts laboratory experiments including animal studies and in vitro cell culture experiments.
o Collaborates with lab members and bioinformaticians in experiments and data analysis.
o Participates in data processing, analysis, reporting, and conference presentations.
o Participates in manuscript preparation and publications.
