What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Fellow position at University of California, San Francisco?
Name of principal investigators – The postdoctoral scholar will be jointly mentored by Drs. Hunter Shain, Iwei Yeh, and Boris Bastian.
To apply: Please send a cover letter and CV to Hunter.Shain@ucsf.edu
Lab websites -- https://shainlab.ucsf.edu/, https://yeh.ucsf.edu/, and https://bastian.ucsf.edu/
Description of position – The Shain, Yeh, and Bastian laboratories were recently selected to join the Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN, https://humantumoratlas.org/) to develop a pre-cancer atlas of skin cancer. Towards this goal, we will perform multi-omic characterizations of common forms of skin cancer and their precursor lesions. Examples of assays include: Bulk-cell and single-cell DNA/RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics (10X Visium and Xenium), and T- and B- cell receptor clonotyping. These data will be integrated to delineate how skin cancers evolve.
The ideal candidate must have an interest in analyzing multi-omic datasets and ideally would have previous experience with one or more of the assays described above. Previous experience in the fields of bioinformatics, cancer biology, and/or genomics is also desirable. The position is fully supported with long-term grant support.
