Postdoctoral Fellowships on basic science and translational medicine of hematologic cancers
 
Dr. Lingbo Zhang’s Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) is part of a $75 million Center for Therapeutics Research at CSHL. There are multiple fully funded postdoctoral fellowships available in the Zhang Laboratory to investigate roles of nervous system activities and micronutrients in regulating hematologic cancers and to develop novel therapeutic strategies for these diseases.  
 
The Zhang Laboratory utilizes CRISPR functional genomics to systematically uncover critical genetic effectors and their related metabolites that modulate hematologic cancers. The ultimate goal is to understand how environmental signals such as nervous system activities and micronutrients modulate hematopoietic cell development and hematologic cancers. Based on these basic mechanistic insights, the Laboratory is building innovative therapeutics to treat hematopoietic cancers that are currently without effective therapeutic options.
 
Environment
 
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is a world-renowned biomedical research institution in New York. It has shaped contemporary biomedical research and is the home of eight Nobel Prize laureates. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory provides a highly dynamic and interactive research environment and also a unique opportunity of timely exposure to advances in various biomedical research fields and of interaction with a broad range of researchers from all over the world through its renowned Meetings and Courses program.
 
We believe that science is for everyone. We have had researchers with a variety of backgrounds and believe in the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

 Education: PhD in Molecular Hematology, Molecular Biology, Cancer Research, or Cell Biology.
 
Research experiences: Ideal candidates should have strong research backgrounds with a track record of publications in molecular and cellular biology, cancer research, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell research, or neuroscience research.
 
Research skills: Ideal candidates should be highly motivated, have research skills with CRISPR functional genomics, disease animal models, flow cytometry or metabolomics analysis, and have effective communication skills as well as ability to work both independently and in a collaborative group environment.
