We’re Hiring!
Dr. Jun Li will join the School of Data Science and Society at UNC Chapel Hill as an Associate Professor in October 2025. We are seeking highly motivated and creative postdoctoral fellows to join our interdisciplinary research team. Our lab focuses on integrative cancer omics, functional proteomics, and AI-driven bioinformatics tool development, with the goal of translating complex data into actionable insights for precision oncology.
We welcome applicants with backgrounds in computational biology, bioinformatics, cancer biology, machine learning, or related fields. Ideal candidates will have a strong publication record, experience working with large-scale omics data, and a genuine passion for translational cancer research.
Current research themes include:
- Develop bioinformatics tools for data integration, visualization, and interpretation
- Build computational frameworks to identify novel cancer vulnerabilities through multi-omics analysis, with a focus on proteogenomics and metabolomics
- Conduct translational modeling by integrating omics data from patient tumors and preclinical models (e.g., cell lines, organoids, PDXs)
- Train and fine-tune foundation models and large language models (LLMs) for diverse applications in biomedical research
