The candidate should have a strong background in cell biology and molecular biology techniques and very good analytical skills. Computational and systems biology knowledge is not essential but would be a plus. The laboratory and Mount Sinai are committed to a diverse, nurturing and equal opportunity workplace.  Interested candidates are invited to provide CV and three references.
