Description Faculty recruitment in Genome Editing and Therapeutics at Center for Disease Neurogenomics (CDN) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. We are inviting applications for tenure-track faculty position (Assistant and Associate Professor level) for scientists that are working to develop the next generation of genome editing techniques and RNA and DNA-based therapeutics. This includes biomedical engineers, bioengineers, developmental biologists and molecular and cellular biologists that apply state-of-the-art approaches for new nucleic acid delivery technologies, such as CRISPR gene and base editing tools and oligonucleotide therapeutics, and approaches for more sophisticated control of transgene expression. We are looking for scientists that apply this emerging technology to human neurons and organoids, with the objective of discovering novel genes critical in neuronal maturation and function, and/or developing multiplexed approaches to evaluate the combinatorial interactions between the hundreds of genetic variants underlying neuropsychiatric disease risk. Next generation human genome editing and forward genetic neuronal screens will ...
