Visiting Student Research Assistant 

Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, USA

We are looking for multiple visiting research scholars who are highly motivated, well-organized, and dynamic with high levels of independence and creative thinking to join the Shu Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School (https://www.jianshulab.org). Our research focuses on 1) developing and optimizing experimental and computational approaches to decode complex systems in time and space at single-cell resolution by integrating genomic, epigenomic, spatial, and imaging data, along with CRISPR perturbations and lineage tracing; 2) applying these toolboxes to decode and engineer multicellular systems. 

Dr. Jian Shu was a Helen Hay Whitney Fellow working at the intersection of single-cell genomics and stem cell biology in Dr. Eric Lander’s lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and Dr. Rudolf Jaenisch’s lab at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at MIT. Dr. Jian Shu joined the faculty at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in late 2020. Dr. Jian Shu is also an Associate Member at Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
