Position description
The Center for Epigenomics at the University of California, San Diego is seeking an experienced individual to serve as Associate Director for Single Cell Epigenomics (non-faculty academic position). The mission of the UCSD Center for Epigenomics is to develop a quantitative and molecular framework to study the function and regulation of the human genome, with the ultimate goal to understand the molecular basis of cancer and other human diseases. This center aims to be a world class research organization focused on making discoveries about the regulation and function of the human genome, developing innovative technologies and computational tools, and translating fundamental knowledge about gene regulation into improved clinical outcomes.
The UCSD Center for Epigenomics will work with researchers on the UCSD campus and beyond to foster the application of epigenomic technologies to clinical, translational, and basic research.
The Single Cell Epigenomics Platform is one of three technology platforms in the UCSD Center for Epigenomics. This technology platform is focused on development and implementation of cutting-edge single cell epigenomic technologies for studying genome function at single cell resolution from complex tissue samples and organoids models.
Under the direction of the Center's Director, the Associate Director of Single Cell Epigenomics (non-faculty) will oversee a team of technicians and bioinformaticians in the application and development of single cell epigenomics assays to address key questions about gene regulation in development and disease.
The Associate Director will work with other campus investigators to design research projects that make use of the Single Cell Epigenomics Platform, and will oversee the day-to-day execution of these research projects. Research projects may be structured as collaborative, fee-for-service, or internal to the center.
Qualifications Basic qualifications (required at time of application)
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology or related fields and be proficient in computational biology as well as molecular biology assays. She/he will be expected to ensure that the single cell epigenomics technologies within the center are maintained at the cutting edge of the field and work with other stakeholders to design, develop, and engineer specialized single cell epigenomics workflows. He/she should have the ability to represent the center and foster growth by giving seminars, attending meetings and conferences, building relationships with campus investigators, and seeking strategic partnerships. The Associate Director should also have the ability to write major parts of scientific grant proposals and publications.
We seek a candidate who possesses expertise in the field of Single Cell Epigenomics as evidenced by a record of relevant scientific publications or presentations. Candidates will be expected to show evidence of their career achievements through letters of recommendation as well as hands on experience with single cell epigenomic assays such as single cell ATAC-seq and single cell multiomics. He/she will also have proven experience applying new technological advances to address biological questions in complex tissue samples.
Successful candidates will also demonstrate strong or potential accomplishments in areas contributing to diversity, equity and inclusion, and a desire to play a leadership role in advancing UC San Diego's commitment to achieving excellence and diversity. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of California pay scales.
