Application Window Open date: February 17, 2023 Most recent review date: Tuesday, Apr 30, 2024 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Final date: Saturday, Aug 17, 2024 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Position description The Singh Lab - Junior/Assistant/Associate/Full Specialist in Bioinformatics or Computational Biology SCHOOL OF MEDICINE - Department of Anatomy Description The lab of Dr. Param Singh at UCSF (www.singhlabucsf.org) is looking for a Junior/Assistant/Associate/Full Specialist with expertise in bioinformatics or computational biology to join our team and contribute to new and ongoing projects. The Singh Lab is part of the Department of Anatomy and the UCSF Bakar Aging Research Institute (BARI). Using African killifish as a model system, our lab focuses on decoding the genomic and epigenomic basis of gene regulation during complex phenotypes such as diapause, aging, and age-related diseases. The African killifish is the shortest-lived vertebrate in captivity and, due to its compressed lifespan, is an emerging model for research on aging and age-related diseases. Killifish can also undergo a long developmental diapause akin to 'suspended animation'. We are looking for creative and passionate individuals at any stage of their careers who want to leverage the unique biology of killifish to discover innovative ways to combat aging and age-related diseases. The candidate will work on interdisciplinary projects including analyses of high-throughput single-cell and bulk multi-omics datasets during aging and in diapause. The candidates will also design and develop new computational approaches that push the boundaries of current genomic technology for data integration across model organisms and humans to understand the fundamentals of gene regulation during development and diseases. The bioinformatics specialist will be expected to collaborate with other experimental and computational biologists, perform general lab duties and be a positive lab citizen. An exceptional candidate will lead their own independent project, develop new ideas, and be involved in grant and manuscript writing, when appropriate. The position provides opportunities for close mentorship and guidance in research and future career development for both academia and industry. Required Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: We are seeking at least a 1-year, and preferably, a 2-year commitment. Applicants must meet requirements by the time of the appointment.
