美国国立卫生研究院2018年招聘博士后职位（单细胞测序，染色质调控）

Multiple postdoc positions are available in the laboratory of Chongyi Chen at the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health. The Chen lab combines cutting-edge technologies in single-cell omics and single-molecule imaging to study the mechanistic link between chromatin structure and gene expression in mammalian systems, from a genome-wide perspective at the single-cell level. In addition, the lab develops new assays and techniques in single-cell genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and bioinformatics.

Dr. Chen received his BS from Peking University, did his PhD and postdoc both at Harvard University, in the lab of X. Sunney Xie. He studied chromosome organization and gene expression at the single-molecule and single-cell level, and developed a new single-cell whole-genome amplification method, Linear Amplification via Transposon Insertion (LIANTI).
