The laboratory of Professor Fei Li in the Department of Biology at New York University (NYU) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist with an interest in chromatin biology and epigenetics and a proven academic track record.

The NIH-funded projects in the Li lab focus on studying molecular mechanisms of epigenetics and chromatin organization using fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a model organism. Representative publications include: Nature (2011), PMID: 21725325; Molecular Cell (2016), PMID: 27666591; Cell Reports (2016), PMID: 26832414; PNAS (2021), PMID: 34810257; PNAS (2023), PMID: 38048463; Nature Communications (2024), PMID: 38773107). Planned projects use a combination of advanced approaches, including molecular genetics, live cell imaging, biochemistry, genomics, and structural biology , to address fundamental questions in epigenetics. Postdoctoral scientists will have opportunities to receive rigorous training in latest approaches in chromatin and epigenetics research. The fellow will also benefit from state-of-the-art research facilities and the highly collaborative community at NYU. Further information about our research can be found at:
