THE LI LABORATORY

For postdoctoral research associate (Ph.D. and/or M.D degree required) and research associate (master's degree required) positions, applicants are expected to hold the required degree at the start date. For graduate student positions, we are recruiting through Biology (doctoral or thesis master), Genetics and Neuroscience programs. Applicants with any research background are welcome to apply. Prior experience in biochemistry/molecular biology, neurogenetics/genomics, imaging/optics, sleep/circadian biology, and Drosophila tumorigenesis models is preferred. Outstanding candidates should have a strong interest in sleep and circadian biology research and a strong interest in developing research skills using multidisciplinary approaches. Our research will train broad skills in molecular biology, Drosophila genetics, genomics and bioinformatics, metabolic analyses, instrumentation, high throughput behavioral analyses, immunohistochemical techniques, and in vivo functional imaging using two-photon microscopy.
