**Job Description**

**_Roles & Responsibilities:_**

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the new laboratory of Dr. Liheng Wang, at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.

Dr. Wang is looking for postdoctoral candidates with strong skill sets in metabolism, biochemistry, cell biology and the enthusiasm to establish a highly collaborative, friendly team. The ongoing research in Dr.Wang’s lab focus on the transcriptional regulation of hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity and Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Combining DNA pulldown and mass spectrometry techniques, they have discovered several new transcription factors that potentially regulate hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism. They will further explore the functions of these transcription factors on the transcriptional regulation of liver metabolism, to explore and understand the underlying mechanisms at the molecular, cell...
