Get in touchOpportunities at Lee Lab
Bring your curiosity.
Make your discovery.
We welcome postdocs and graduate students who want to understand the brain through computation, genetics and single-cell biology.
Why join us
Important questions.
Room to make them yours.
How do cells become vulnerable to disease? Why do some people remain cognitively resilient? Which genetic changes matter, and in which cells? Our datasets open the door to questions that span the full complexity of the human brain.
At the Lee Lab, you’ll work at the intersection of computational methods and biological discovery, within the collaborative Center for Disease Neurogenomics at Mount Sinai.
