What is the difference between Senior Aging Research vs Aging Research Associate?

AspectSenior Aging ResearchAging Research Associate
Required CredentialsMaster's or PhD in Gerontology, Biology, or related field; extensive research experienceBachelor's or Master's degree; entry to mid-level research experience
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, academic institutions, healthcare organizationsResearch labs, universities, clinical settings
Employer & Industry UsageUniversities, government agencies, biotech companiesResearch institutions, healthcare providers, academic labs
Common Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding senior-level roles in aging researchEntry to mid-level roles in aging research

Senior Aging Research positions typically require advanced degrees and extensive experience, focusing on leading projects and mentoring. Aging Research Associates are usually entry to mid-level roles supporting research activities. Both roles are vital in advancing understanding of aging but differ mainly in experience level and responsibilities.

Job description

Computational Biology & Aging / Bioinformatics Core Co-Director
Location:
Novato, CA
Position Type: Full-time, onsite required
Salary Range: $125,000-$140,000, depending on experience
About the Opportunity
The Furman Lab at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging invites applications for a Senior Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher to join a newly initiated, five-year government-funded research program focused on understanding the mechanisms of aging and developing interventions to extend healthspan. This is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to large-scale, multi-institutional science at one of the world's foremost dedicated aging research institutes.
In addition to their research role within the project, the successful candidate will serve as Co-Director of the Buck Institute's Bioinformatics and Data Science Core, playing a central role in expanding the Core's capacity, service offerings, and scientific impact across the Institute.
Primary Responsibilities
  • Develop and apply computational pipelines for the analysis of large-scale multi-omics datasets, including genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic data, in the context of aging research.
  • Build and refine integrative models of biological aging using longitudinal cohort and experimental data generated within the project consortium, including AI/ML-based approaches.
  • Collaborate closely with experimental and clinical investigators to translate biological questions into rigorous analytical frameworks.
  • Contribute to the design of computational strategies for cross-platform data harmonization, quality control, and reproducible analysis.
  • Serve as Co-Director of the Bioinformatics and Data Science Core, providing analytical consultation and support to Buck Institute investigators.
  • Help define Core priorities and participate in efforts to grow the Core's scientific and operational capacity.
  • Mentor junior trainees and research staff in computational methods and best practices.
  • Contribute to manuscripts, grant reports, and presentations disseminating project findings to the broader scientific community.
Qualifications
Senior Scientist Level

Candidates for the Senior Scientist level should have:
  • Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology, biostatistics, systems biology, or a related discipline, with substantial postdoctoral or equivalent experience.
  • Demonstrated record of independent research, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications in high-quality journals.
  • Proven expertise in the analysis of next-generation sequencing data, such as RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, single-cell omics, whole-genome sequencing, or whole-exome sequencing.
  • Experience leading or co-leading collaborative research projects and mentoring trainees.
Postdoctoral Researcher Level
Candidates for the Postdoctoral Researcher level should have:
  • Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology, biostatistics, or a closely related field, awarded within the past five years or expected imminently.
  • Strong analytical foundation with demonstrated proficiency in multi-omics data analysis, including published or preprint research.
  • Enthusiasm for developing an independent research program within a collaborative and highly supportive environment.
Required Technical Skills
  • Proficiency in one or more scientific programming languages, such as Python or R.
  • Fluency with standard bioinformatics toolkits, such as Bioconductor, Seurat, Scanpy, GATK, STAR, or DESeq2.
  • Experience training, validating, diagnosing, and fine-tuning machine learning models, preferably multimodal models.
  • Familiarity with statistical methods for multi-omics data integration, dimensionality reduction, and biological network analysis.
  • Commitment to rigorous, reproducible, versioned, and well-documented computational research practices.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Prior research experience in aging biology, geroscience, or the analysis of aging-related cohorts or model organism datasets.
  • Experience with epigenomic clock methodologies, biological age estimation, or related computational frameworks.
  • Experience integrating heterogeneous data, electronic health records, or large clinical datasets.
  • Familiarity with multi-step agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, and vector search methods.
  • Experience with high-performance computing environments and workflow management systems.
  • Familiarity with cloud computing platforms, such as AWS, Google Cloud, or equivalent, for large-scale data analysis.
  • Experience contributing to or directing a bioinformatics core or shared resource facility.
