The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub ("CZ Biohub) is an independent nonprofit medical research organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub supports scientific research to cure, prevent or manage disease in our children’s lifetime. Our mission is to understand the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease and to develop new technologies which will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies. We harness the power and possibility of collaboration to drive discovery and set the standard for open, impactful science. For more information, please visit czbiohub.org.
Opportunity
CZ Biohub has been at the forefront of using sequencing technology to understand mechanisms of disease from the cellular level to the population level. During the COVID-19 pandemic, CZ Biohub contributed to the state-wide genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, supported local outbreak investigations using phylogenetic analyses, and identified gene expression signatures of SARS-CoV-2 infections. CZ Biohub will continue to contribute to basic scientific research within infectious diseases and support capacity building locally and internationally.
We are looking for a bioinformatics scientist specialized in genomic analyses and interested in solving problems in infectious disease at various scales. The candidate will work with a multidisciplinary team of scientists to produce multi-dimensional datasets to understand the mechanisms of infection, and work with local and global health partners to support public health and research efforts using metagenomic and whole genome sequencing. The candidate will be part of the data science platform.
