Dr. Sheng Li’s lab at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM) in Farmington, CT is currently seeking motivated scientists interested in single-cell and spatial omics. The Li Lab focuses on integrative mining of single-cell, spatial, and long-read multi-omics data and deep learning algorithms development to understand epigenome dynamics and gene regulatory network during cell fate transition, aging, and cancer.

Our Postdoctoral Associates enjoy distinct advantages, including:

• Advanced research in spatial, single-cell, long-read multi-omics
• Robust CPU and GPU high-performance computing resources
• A uniquely collaborative environment that fosters interdisciplinary “team science” without departmental barriers
• A network of NIH consortia, e.g., NIA/NCI OncoAging Consortium, NIH Common Fund Cellular Senescence Network Consortium, and NHGRI MorPhiC Consortium
• Unparalleled genomic resources and superior research support services
• Close interaction with our award-winning faculty members
• Partnerships with leading universities and medical centers
• Numerous courses and conferences focused on genetics, genomics and biomedicine
• Exceptional benefits, ample time off and other valuable programs
• Working for an institution that has repeatedly been voted among the top 15 “Best Places to work in Academia” in the world by readers of The Scientist
