Job Description:
The Department of Biomolecular Engineering (BME) at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a position in Stem Cell Genomics at the Assistant Professor (tenure-track) level. We seek outstanding candidates with appropriate expertise, established records, and exceptional potential for research in stem cell genomics. The successful candidate will be expected to establish a wet lab operation focused on stem cell genomics research, to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program, contribute significantly to undergraduate and graduate education, and perform university and professional service. The candidate must be able to work with students, faculty and staff from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds. We are especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through their teaching, research, and/or service.

Our current faculty play key roles in many international genomics research projects, including the Stem Cell Genomics project funded by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the Cancer Genome Atlas project, the ENCODE project, and the Genome 10k project. We also played key roles in assembling the human genome for the Human Genome Project, and we host the UCSC Genome Browser and the UCSC Xena Platform. Our recently constructed Biomedical Sciences and adjacent buildings provide state-of-the art facilities for research laboratories focusing on stem cells, genomics, cancer, sequencing technologies, RNA biology, developmental biology, epigenetics, and related fields. The proximity of the campus to Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area affords extensive opportunities for interactions with nearby academic and biotechnology institutions.

The Biomolecular Engineering Department is part of the Baskin School of Engineering, which is continuing an exciting growth phase. The department offers BS, MS, and PhD degree programs. BME participates in the cross-divisional graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences & Engineering (PBSE). Four focal areas of PBSE, including a Bioinformatics & Computational Biology track, provide PhD students with interdisciplinary and collaborative training in both wet lab and dry lab research under the guidance of faculty members from several departments.
