Bioinformatics Programmer CoLabs Admin Full Time 82981BR Job Summary We are seeking a bioinformatics programmer with a B.S., M.S., or equivalent, in fields relating to molecular biology, bioinformatics or computer science. Working as part of a multidisciplinary group and independly, the bioinformatics programmer will perform statistical analyses of high throughput genomics data, especially bulk-cell and single-cell RNA-sequeing data, by developing novel, and using or adapting existing computational pipelines and algorithms. The job candidate will write code to process genomic data sets, generate reports, and present the results to collaborators. S/he will work from standard analysis pipelines and modify code to fit individual projects. S/he will interact closely with core lab members and collaborate with other bioinformaticians doing similar work at UCSF and elsewhere.
Job requirements:
The CoLabs The CoLabs are a collection of integrated laboratories specializing in infrastructure or technologies. It seeks to revitalize the model for core resources by capitalizing on critical personnel and cutting-edge technologies and driving collaboration across disciplines. The model will house all CoLabs teams in a contiguous space and create a set of common pipelines and workflows in one centralized locale. It will recruit and retain world-class staff through project engagement, backstopped "tenure," and annual operational funds. It will develop and invest in transformative methods and technologies. In its current form, the CoLabs consolidate three existing groups, Genomics, Flow Cytometry, and Biological Imaging Development (BIDC), and establish two new ones, Disease to Biology (D2B) and Data Science (DS), placing them all under one roof. The CoLabs will help organize and integrate the UCSF community through common pipelines and data curation around a set of collaborative "CoProjects" that will tackle fundamental questions in the field. While CoProjects are investigator-driven, the day-to-day operations must be managed and run through the cutting-edge CoLabs, which house world-class staff and technologies. Genomics CoLab The Genomics CoLab serves as an innovative hub of molecular biologists, genomicists and bioinformaticians engaging in collaborative research across UCSF campuses. At the Genomics CoLab, we emphasize in the development of novel genomic approaches and providing advanced genomic and bioinformatic resources for investigators who wish to integrate modern genomic approaches into biological research. These approaches include bulk- and single-cell RNA-seq, small RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, ATAC-seq and whole exome/genome sequencing. We are also actively working on integrating novel genomic methods such as combinatorial genomic methods, special transcriptomics, and new epigenomic approaches. .

The Bioinformatic Programmer will also maintain workflows in a version-controlled environment (GitHub or equivalent) and periodically update the core website to reflect changes in work flows and services. The final salary and offer components are subject to additional approvals based on UC policy. Your placement within the salary range is dependent on a number of factors including your work experience and internal equity within this position classification at UCSF. For positions that are represented by a labor union, placement within the salary range will be guided by the rules in the collective bargaining agreement. The salary range for this position is $75,700 - $104,400 (Annual Rate).
