Recruiting at all levels!

We are broadly interested in exceptionally driven individuals with background and/or interests in genome regulation, synthetic biology, functional genomics, quantitative biology, computational biology, cell differentiation control, tissue injury responses, and immune recognition of cancer cells. We are excited about both technology development and fundamental biology.

We are recruiting individuals interested in developing CRISPR functional genomics approaches for studying tissue biology models, including in human surgical specimens. We are also recruiting individuals with a quantitative background to pursue interdisciplinary work that merges theory and experimental implementation of algorithms for efficiently exploring numerous combinations of genetic perturbations.

We value strong work ethic, enthusiasm, creativity, rigor, and affinity for collaborations.

We strive to create a supportive environment where individuals are encouraged to grow together scientifically and professionally by challenging ideas, each other, and themselves.

Prospective graduate students:

Instructions for UCSF graduate students considering a rotation: Please contact Chris with your CV, a statement of your interest in the lab, and potential start and end dates of rotation. Please do so as early as possible to express your interest in rotating, preferably 2 or more months ahead of the start of your potential rotation so that there would be sufficient time for Chris to meet with you over several sessions to explore scientific interests and fit prior to the start of the rotation. I am happy to discuss the potential for co-mentorships, where appropriate, such as for students with interests in computation or specific biological domains in tissue biology.

Prospective postdocs and physician-scientists:

Please see additional descriptions in the job posting. We are especially interested in individuals at the post-doctoral level with a background in genome regulation, and/or bring additional expertise in computational biology or specific biological domains in tissue biology. I am happy to discuss potential formal or informal co-mentorship arrangements that may strengthen your career development, if appropriate. We are surrounded by broad and deep scientific expertise that complement our existing strengths. Where appropriate, outstanding candidates will be considered for opportunities to work collaboratively with help from junior specialists.

Please contact Chris with your CV, a statement of your interest in the lab, potential start date, and contact information for 2-3 references.

Prospective junior specialists:

We have paused recruitment for junior specialists. Please check back later.
