A Postdoc position is available in the Diaz lab at UCSF (https://diazlab.ucsf.edu), funded by grants from the NIH, DoD and private foundations. As a member of the UCSF Brain Tumor Center (https://braintumorcenter.ucsf.edu) our mission is the development of therapeutics for brain cancers. Our core competencies include bioinformatics and systems biology.

We have ongoing research efforts that study emerging immunotherapies, profiling clinical specimens using single-cell technologies. Our ongoing efforts have generated hundreds of thousands single-cell mRNA and ATAC libraries from hundreds of human adult and pediatric longitudinal brain-tumor specimens, and counting. We are actively developing spatial profiling, single-cell Cut&Tag and other cutting-edge genomics assays. These novel modalities require sophisticated bioinformatics approaches.

The duties of bioinformatics postdocs include bioinformatics analyses of single-cell and bulk 'omics data, data interpretation and participation in experimental design. The minimum requirements for the position are: 1) a PhD in the biomedical sciences, bioinformatics or a related discipline; 2) experience with 'omics data analysis and strong programming skills in a relevant language (e.g. R, Python); 3) first-author papers in respectable journals; 4) fluency in English, and the interpersonal skills to negotiate professional interactions in a diverse environment; and 5) the willingness to work hard in the pursuit of shared goals.
