Position description
The Singh Lab - Junior / Assistant / Associate / Full Specialist in Genomics, Machine Learning and Aging
SCHOOL OF MEDICINE - Department of Anatomy
Description
The Singh Lab at UCSF (www.singhlabucsf.org ) is seeking a highly motivated Junior / Assistant / Associate / Full Specialist to join our research program at the intersection of aging biology, genomics, and machine learning. Our lab is tackling the fundamental questions in the field of aging using a multi-disciplinary approach. We integrate cutting-edge single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and other multi-omics datasets with advanced machine learning techniques to decipher the intricate genomic changes that drive aging and age-related diseases. We not only work with human and mouse data - we're also exploring the remarkable biology of the African killifish, a powerful model organism for aging research. By comparing genomic patterns across species, we aim to identify conserved processes that underlie aging and develop innovative strategies to promote healthy lifespan.
As a Junior / Assistant / Associate / Full Specialist in our lab, you will :
- Spearhead the development and application of novel AI / ML algorithms to analyze large-scale scRNA-seq datasets related to aging.
- Uncover hidden patterns and predict age-related changes and 'aging clocks' at the single-cell level.
- Identify key genes, pathways, and cell types that contribute to aging and age-related diseases.
- Collaborate with a dynamic team of researchers with multi-disciplinary expertise in genomics, bioinformatics, and aging biology.
- Contribute to a vibrant research community at UCSF, including the Bakar Aging Research Institute (BARI) and the Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute (BCHSI).
