Job Description:
The Department of Biomolecular Engineering [https://www.soe.ucsc.edu/departments/biomolecular-engineering] at UC Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications from outstanding scientists for the position of Assistant Research Scientist, under the direction of Professor Mark Akeson. We seek a self-motivated, creative scientist interested in genomics and transcriptomics technologies. Specific projects in which the candidate will play a significant role include the following: i) the development of nanopore sequencing technology; ii) the development of nanopore based methods for characterizing epigenetic modifications and modifications to RNA molecules; iii) single cell methods; and iv) novel nanopore based sequencing technologies, using PromethION and MinION. The incumbent will be expected (i) to provide technical leadership and direction to a small senior-level technology development team, (ii) to work with graduate and undergraduate students, (iii) publish in scientific journals and present findings at scientific meetings, and (iv) be expected to apply for and serve as principal investigator on grants, contracts, and private external funding. The successful candidate will be highly articulate and have demonstrated ability to collaborate with scientists, laboratory scientists, software engineers, and students in developing novel genomics tools, protocols, and resources. Our exceptional collegiality and interdisciplinary collaborations make UCSC an excellent environment for an innovative scientist who can benefit from and contribute to the rapid growth in the sciences and engineering at UCSC.
