We are seeking a highly motivated individual with a background in Bioinformatics, Population Genetics, and/or Statistical Genetics for a post-doctoral or staff position within the Burchard laboratory in the Lung Biology Center at UCSF. Research in the Burchard lab is highly collaborative, with a focus on identifying genetic and environmental contributions to asthma and asthma-related traits in diverse human populations, including pharmacogenetics. This position will involve advanced bioinformatic and statistical analysis of next-generation sequencing data, including whole-genome and exome sequences, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and targeted sequencing of the MHC and GWAS/admixture mapping peaks in Latinos and African Americans. The successful applicant will be responsible for developing and implementing bioinformatics pipelines, and performing statistical analysis of next-generation sequencing data. They will also be expected to provide general computational support to ongoing studies in the Burchard lab, including epigenetic, microbiome, and gene expression studies. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to advance their existing analytical skills as required by ongoing and future research projects, and to participate in the preparation and writing of manuscripts and grants. Applications from individuals with a background in studying organisms other than humans are equally encouraged.
Job Requirements:
- Ph.D. or Master’s Degree in the area of Bioinformatics, Population Genetics, and/or Statistical Genetics
- Experience in the analysis of next-generation sequencing data
- Experience in manipulating large-scale genomic data and efficient utilization of computer clusters
- Demonstrated knowledge and programming experience in UNIX, R, PYTHON and/or PERL
- Familiarity and working knowledge of standard bioinformatics tools, packages, algorithms, and databases for the analysis of genetics data
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects
- Highly motivated and committed to biomedical research
Please send resumes to Esteban Burchard, M.D., M.P.H for more information: [email protected]
