post grad Junior specialist at Hsiung Lab (UCSF)

The Hsiung Lab (www.hsiunglab.org) at the Institute for Human Genetics at UCSF is looking to recruit a highly motivated individual who has prior experience/skills at the bench in a molecular biology laboratory setting. This is a unique opportunity most suitable for a soon-to-graduate senior to gain full-time experience (minimum 2-year commitment) in developing and/or applying cutting-edge CRISPR synthetic biology and functional genomics approaches to topics with therapeutic relevance. Interest in working with mice is desirable. Some possible projects include: Developing new CRISPR tools to manipulate transcriptional control for discovery science and therapeutics Applying high-throughput approaches to study tissue injury responses, such as regeneration or fibrosis, including in new models of cultured mouse or human tissues and in mouse models. Discovering perturbations to cancer cells to elicit systemic anti-tumor immunity using novel CRISPR screening approaches in mouse models.

The expectation is a highly independent and driven individual with the ability to contribute to projects creatively, as well as routine tasks for laboratory upkeep and inventory maintenance. Interested individuals will receive relevant career mentorship, including MD and/or PhD career paths. Applications considered on a rolling basis, apply early. https://www.hsiunglab.org/contact
