Dr. Ruli Gao's laboratory at Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern develops single-cell and spatial long reads sequencing technologies and computational algorithms to study tumor evolution and cell fate transition models. The ongoing projects are centered around integrating same-cell multi-omics to co-project tumor cell genetic evolutionary lineages, cell fate transition trajectories and adaptive immunological remodeling during cancer progression and other human diseases.

Multiple positions are available with detailed requirements as follows:

Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioinformatics

  • Strongly interested in developing bioinformatic tools for analyzing single-cell third-generation sequencing data to dissect human diseases including cancer evolution, can therapeutic responses, heart diseases and transplantation rejection. 
  • Recent graduate with PhD or MD/PhD in Bioinformatics, Genomics, Computational Biology, or equivalent areas.  

Postdoctoral Fellow in Genomics 

  • Strongly interested in studying human disease genomics by developing and applying single-cell third-generation sequencing technologies to obtain same cell mega-omics including but not limited to single cell isoforms, mutations, structure variations, copy numbers and methylations. 
  • Recent graduate with PhD or MD/PhD in Molecular Genetics, Genomics, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, or equivalent areas.  

Research Associate

  • Strongly interested in single cell sequencing, next generation and third generation sequencing technologies.
  • Strongly interested in developing standard protocols.
  • Experience in human tissue processing and cell culture.
  • Detail-oriented, with excellent managing skills and leadership.
  • Master Degree in Molecular Genetics, Genomics, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, or equivalent areas.  Candidate with PhD in these areas are highly encouraged to apply. 

All applicant should send a CV and cover letter to Dr. Ruli Gao (ruli.gao@northwestern.edu).  Postdoctoral applicants are expect to include the contact information of three references.
