Recruiting at all levels!
We are broadly interested in exceptionally driven individuals with background and/or interests in gene regulation, synthetic biology, functional genomics, quantitative biology, computational biology, cell differentiation control, tissue injury responses, and immuno-oncology.
Currently, we have specific projects that could be a strong fit with individuals experienced or interested in gene regulation, liver biology, and/or cancer immunology (esp. prostate cancer).
We are also interested in individuals with a quantitative background to pursue interdisciplinary work that merges theory and experimental implementation of algorithms for efficiently exploring numerous combinations of genetic perturbations.
We value strong work ethic, enthusiasm, creativity, rigor, and affinity for collaborations.
We strive to create a supportive environment where individuals are encouraged to grow together scientifically and professionally by challenging ideas, each other, and themselves.
Prospective graduate students:
You must be admitted to one of the UCSF graduate programs (e.g. Tetrad, Bioengineering, BMS, DSCB, PSPG, etc.) before we can consider you for a rotation. For admitted UCSF graduate students, please contact Chris with your CV, a statement of your interest in the lab, and potential start and end dates of rotation. I am happy to discuss the potential for co-mentorships, where appropriate, such as for students with interests in computation or specific biological domains in tissue biology.
Prospective postdocs and physician-scientists:
Please see additional descriptions in the job posting. We are especially interested in individuals at the post-doctoral level who bring additional expertise in computational biology or specific biological domains in tissue biology. I am happy to discuss potential formal or informal co-mentorship arrangements that may strengthen your career development, if appropriate. We are surrounded by broad and deep scientific expertise that complement our existing strengths. Where appropriate, outstanding candidates will be considered for opportunities to work collaboratively with help from junior specialists.
Please contact Chris with your CV, a statement of your interest in the lab, potential start date, and contact information for 2-3 references.
Prospective junior specialists: we have paused recruitment for junior specialist positions. Please check back in the future if interested.
We are located at the UCSF Parnassus campus in the Institute for Human Genetics, with newly remodeled space in HSE9.
