Open Positions for Research Scientists, Graduate, and Undergraduate Students in the Yang Laboratory

We are thrilled to announce multiple open positions for enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to join the Yang Laboratory, a dynamic research environment committed to advancing innovative tools for tackling complex biological and biomedical challenges. With a rich history of groundbreaking research and a forward-looking vision, our lab fosters an environment where cutting-edge technology meets impactful science.

About the Yang Laboratory: The Yang Laboratory is driven by a profound commitment to exploring novel research avenues within the realms of cell biology, cancer biology, virology, single-molecule biophysics, super-resolution microscopy, molecular transport mechanisms, and intracellular and intercellular trafficking. Over the years, our lab has been at the forefront of technological advancements, pioneering several groundbreaking imaging techniques. Notable among these are the high-speed super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, known as Single-Point Edge-Excitation Sub-Diffraction (SPEED) microscopy, virtual 3D super-resolution imaging algorithms, and the Single-Point Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (sp-FRAP) technique.

Our Achievements: These innovative techniques have significantly contributed to our understanding of nuclear transport mechanisms for various cellular components, such as mRNAs, viral particles, cytosol, membranes, and intrinsically disordered proteins. Moreover, we have successfully elucidated intricate trafficking mechanisms between the cytoplasm and the primary cilium, providing invaluable insights into cellular processes. Our research work has been published in prestigious scientific journals, including Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, PNAS, Nature Protocols, Nature Communications, etc.
