The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) is an independent nonprofit research institute that brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine. CZ Biohub SF itself supports some of the brightest, boldest engineers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease and develop new technologies that will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies. We are guided by our values of scholarly excellence; disruptive innovation; hands-on engineering/hacking/building; partnership and collaboration; open communication and respect; inclusiveness; and opportunity for all.Our Vision

We pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environmentsWe enable individual investigators to pursue their riskiest and most innovative ideasThe technologies developed at CZ Biohub San Francisco facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyondDiversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives are at the heart of CZ Biohub Network and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive organization where all colleagues feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution.The Opportunity

The Data Science platform at CZ Biohub SF is seeking an Associate Bioinformatics Scientist/Computational Biologist to join a fantastic team of computational biologists and data scientists. We develop computational methods, pipelines, and software that enable Biohub’s research across quantitative cell biology and infectious disease. In this position, you will closely collaborate with biologists and engineers from Biohub research groups such as the Royer group and the Balla group.Potential projects include:Developing workflows to process and analyze single-cell multi-omics datasets to gain a holistic view of transcriptional regulation during zebrafish developmentParticipating in data integration across multiple modalities to create a resource for the broader scientific communityContributing to interactive web portals for in silico genetic perturbations on developing zebrafish at whole organism scaleThis is an excellent opportunity to do both research and engineering at the intersection of bioinformatics, infectious diseases, and cell biology.You will
