The Fang Laboratory welcomes potential members with relevant expertise or a strong interest in the lab’s core research areas.
Ph.D. graduates
For Ph.D. graduates with a strong interest in pursuing academic careers. Postdoctoral scholars will build on their doctoral training to establish new, independent research directions aligned with the lab’s broader vision, and will be expected to lead one or more major projects.
B.S. / M.S. graduates
For B.S. graduates applying through the M.S. via exemption or direct Ph.D. track, as well as M.S. graduates applying through the regular Ph.D. track, who seek advanced training and the opportunity to make significant research contributions. Graduate students will be expected to take ownership of independent projects within the lab’s research areas.
B.S. students to faculty members
For self-funded visiting or co-advised trainees and scholars interested in short-term research stays, collaborative projects, or methodological exchange aligned with the lab’s current research directions.
M.S. graduates
For recent M.S. graduates seeking to further expand their research experience before continuing their education or advancing their careers. Research assistants will receive initial training and will be expected to work independently thereafter.
Associate degree / B.S. / M.S. students and graduates
For associate degree, B.S., or M.S. graduates seeking stable research positions and the opportunity to contribute to a specific area of the lab’s work. We also welcome current associate degree and B.S. students seeking a final-year internship beginning in the summer before their final year, especially those who wish to develop practical skills for future employment in our research areas.
B.S. students
For undergraduate students seeking research experience through semester-based, summer, or project-based involvement aligned with the lab’s current directions. Undergraduate researchers will receive comprehensive training in cell engineering and contribute to larger ongoing projects.
Molecular biology and cell engineering techniques for gene expression in mammalian hosts.
Novel biomaterials and nanomaterials, especially those with biomedical applications.
Animal disease models, including cancer, bacterial infection, aging, and neurological disease.
Transcriptomic and other omics workflows, from sample preparation to downstream data analysis.
Machine learning methods for large, multidimensional biological datasets.
Include your CV or resume, relevant research background, and a short note on why the lab’s work fits your interests.
Use a clear subject line with the role you are asking about and attach your application materials in your first message.
Promising inquiries can move into a brief discussion of research fit, available openings, and next steps.
