**Position description**:
**Oni-Orisan Lab - Junior Specialist / Assistant Specialist - Computational Lab**
**Department of Clinical Pharmacy**
**University of California, San Francisco**

The Oni-Orisan Lab at UCSF's Department of Clinical Pharmacy and the Institute for Human Genetics is has two major interests that fall within our overarching research mission. First, we aim to establish pharmacogenetic predictors of statin efficacy and safety. Second, we aim to advance pharmacogenomic discovery and validation in historically-excluded populations.

We seek to hire junior or associate specialist(s) to assist our team to generate, manage, and analyze large datasets containing electronic health records, genomic data, drug regimens, and clinical outcomes.

Responsibilities include generating drug response phenotypes (e.g., develop the genotype /phenotype), constructing longitudinal data sets for further analyses, generating visualization plots to characterize the data, conducting the inferential statistics, and preparing/analyzing all requested data analytics, as well as archiving code for future use. Through this work, we expect that our specialist(s) will play an integral role in advancing our knowledge of pharmacogenomics.

Appointees in the Specialist series will be expected to engage in specialized research, professional activities and do not have teaching responsibilities. Specialists are expected to use their professional expertise to make scientific and scholarly contributions, and may participate in University and Public Service.
