Job Summary
The LGR is in search of a motivated computational biologist/bioinformatician, who will use their skills as a seasoned, experienced bioinformatics programming professional with a broad understanding of computational algorithms and systems to apply computational and statistical methods to analyze and interpret data obtained from the next generation of functional genomics screens. Demonstrates good judgment in selecting methods and techniques for obtaining solutions. Operates independently.
The ideal candidate will have a strong grasp of NGS technologies, particularly single-cell sequencing, and practical experience using tools such as Seurat or scanpy for bulk and single-cell analysis.Additionally, familiarity with CRISPR technologies (CRISPRi/a/n) and a solid understanding of biology are essential. Imaging may be involved, and applicants with imaging analysis would be preferred.
We highly value self-motivation and a commitment to continuous learning, as well as the ability to thrive in a collaborative research environment. Effective communication skills, both with technical and non-technical team members and external collaborators, are crucial.The final salary and offer components are subject to additional approvals based on UC policy.To see the salary range for this position (we recommend that you make a note of the job code and use that to look up): TCS Non-Academic Titles Search (https://tcs.ucop.edu/non-academic-titles)Please note: An offer will take into consideration the experience of the final candidate AND the current salary level of individuals working at UCSF in a similar role.For roles covered by a bargaining unit agreement, there will be specific rules about where a new hire would be placed on the range.To learn more about the benefits of working at UCSF, including total compensation, please visit: https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/compensation-and-benefits/index.html
Department Description
The Laboratory for Genomics Research, (LGR), situated adjacent to the UCSF Mission Bay campus in San Francisco is a groundbreaking functional genomics center, uniting researchers from UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco, and GSK. This unique hybrid model fosters collaborative and independent projects. Additionally, the laboratory serves as a resource for UC campus investigators to address their biomedical inquiries. Utilizing CRISPR/Cas9-based tools, LGR aims to unveil gene functions, discover new drug targets, and pioneer technologies for academia and industry. Emphasizing deeper phenotypic insights, such as single-cell sequencing and imaging, the lab delves into novel biology. Explore our research at http://www.lgr.bio/projects.
