Position description
Assistant/Associate/ Full Specialist on Bioinformatics/ Computational Biology to study women's health in brain aging and Alzheimer's disease.
Job Summary
We are seeking a Bioinformatician to join a multidisciplinary lab focused on women's health, the X chromosome, brain aging and Alzheimer's disease.
The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in bioinformatics, computer science, or computational biology, as well as general experience in the life sciences. Working with molecular biologists, neuropsychologists, and neuroscientists, the candidate will help design, implement, and analyze high dimensional data (e.g., cell free RNA and DNA sequencing; epigenetics, fragmentomics, and topology of cell-free DNA in plasma; single nuclei RNA and ATAC sequencing) from human samples, utilizing bioinformatics tools and databases to reach biologically meaningful insights. Successful candidates should be scientifically motivated self-starters, comfortable working in a highly productive academic environment, and keen on modeling biological processes using rich datasets.
This position presents an outstanding training experience for a computational/bioinformatics scientist seeking to break into the fields of women's health and neurodegenerative disease. The discoveries generated could contribute to new, and urgently needed, diagnostics and treatments for brain aging and neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease.
The appointment will be with the Dubal Lab and the Casaletto Lab, both in close proximity in the Department of Neurology at UCSF. The Casaletto lab is part of the Memory and Aging Center at UCSF.
Required Qualifications:
  • Assistant Specialist - Master's degree or a baccalaureate degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field with three or more years of research experience.
  • Associate Specialist - Master's degree or PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field or five to ten years of experience in the relevant experience.
  • Full Specialist - PhD (or equivalent degree) in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field or ten or more years of experience in the relevant experience.
  • Strong experience with pipeline development, bioinformatic tools, and data management, and demonstrated competence in programming languages such as R or Python for bioinformatics analyses.
  • Experience with cloud-based storage and service tools is essential
  • Application materials must state qualifications (or if pending) upon submission.
  • Applicants must possess the required qualifications by the time of the appointment.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • MS or PhD degree
  • Familiarity with the use or administration of laboratory information management systems is a plus.
