    BACKGROUND

    The Buck Institute is the only independent institute in the U.S. devoted solely to research on aging and age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, arthritis, and stroke. Our mission is to increase the healthspan, the healthy years of life. Awarded a federal grant to establish interdisciplinary research in a new field called Geroscience, Buck scientists work in a unique, collaborative environment that allows scientists to initiate studies quickly and respond to new opportunities in fields such as stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Our scientists represent a variety of complementary fields, including genetics, epigenetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, age-associated disease; and technological disciplines such as genomics, proteomics, protein interaction networks and bio-informatics. The Buck Institute, which was designed by world famous architect I.M. Pei, is located in Novato, California, 25 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

    A Postdoctoral position is open in the laboratory of Dr. Sean Mooney with project(s) focusing on understanding the molecular effects of mutation, SNP and haplotype data. The position will include collaboration with multiple faculty and labs on specific projects. Preference will be given to applicants with training in bioinformatics, and a background in computer science and genetics or biochemistry. Applicants should possess the ability to initiate projects that align with the emphasis of the laboratory and computational biology core, and to effectively collaborate with multiple labs and principle investigators.
