Lead Cancer Biologist (QBI/UCSF; Krogan lab)
About QBI
The Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI; ) at the University of California, San Francisco, is about breaking down the walls in academia and creating teams between scientists working in diverse disciplines to tackle problems that can only be solved by many groups working together. QBI will lead by example with teams of scientists solving each individual problem – together. QBI scientists are experts in developing experimental and computational tools that can be applied to many biological or biomedical problems. These tools allow for effective connection between discovery research and the clinic, enabling the development of new breakthrough therapies for disease.
As a highly dynamic and collaborative institute, QBI applies disease agnostic technology such as proteomics and functional genomics, as well as biochemistry, computational biology, and bioinformatics to unravel the molecular networks underpinning cancer, as well as infectious diseases and neurological disorders. Our projects leverage a wide array of experimental approaches with a collaborative infrastructure necessary for long-term investigation. QBI scientists interface with other highly productive and exceptionally collaborative researchers to further our understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving pathogenic diseases and discovering new avenues for therapeutics.
The Role
We are looking for a highly motivated and innovative Lead Cancer Biologist to spearhead cancer research efforts and facilitate the coordination of large collaborative scientific initiatives. Working with QBI Director Nevan Krogan, project PIs, and the QBI scientific leadership, you will design, oversee, and coordinate cancer projects that are the collaborative effort of scientists across academic institutions, global collaborators, and industry partners.
Specifically, this position will:
Lead a team of researchers and trainees in unravelling mechanisms of different cancers. Provide scientific oversight including review and advice on study design, modeling, data analysis and validation, team management, and suggesting new approaches. Launch new projects and provide strategic planning to our cancer grant portfolio. Track progress toward project goals, facilitate coordination among participating partners, evaluate project data and results, and report project status to leadership. Identify new funding opportunities, coordinate submission of new project proposals and preparation of manuscripts. Interface with stakeholders in academia and industry as well as funders. This position requires a scientist qualified for independent research at the level of principal investigator and is for the job classification of Professional Researcher. It is not a faculty research position.The QBI is a highly dynamic and collaborative institute, applying disease agnostic technology such as proteomics and functional genomics, as well as biochemistry, computational biology, and bioinformatics to unravel the molecular networks underpinning cancer using systems biology approaches. Our current cancer projects aim to unravel mechanisms of breast, head and neck, and lung cancer. Our projects leverage a wide array of experimental approaches with a collaborative infrastructure necessary for long-term investigation. You will collaborate and interface with a highly productive and exceptionally collaborative group of scientists to further our understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving pathogenic diseases and discovering new avenues for therapeutics.
