Lead Cancer Biologist (QBI/UCSF; Krogan lab)

About QBI

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.

The ideal candidate should be independent, a creative problem solver, and original thinker. Excellent project management skills and a strong research record are essential, including evidence of publishing in high impact peer-reviewed journals and experience in writing and submitting proposals for federally sponsored research. Applicants will have strong written, verbal, and presentation skills and an ability to communicate and work in an interdisciplinary team environment. Candidate’s CV must list all Basic Qualifications (or if pending degree in field) upon submission.

Required Qualifications:

  • PhD and post-graduate in cancer biology, cancer system biology or related field at the time of hire
  • Demonstrated high productivity and successful publishing record
  • Demonstrated experience as a research project lead
  • Experience managing collaborative projects among multiple laboratories
  • Experience writing research proposals and peer-reviewed manuscripts for publication
  • Experience designing and executing molecular biology and cell-based assays

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Principal investigator for a grant
  • History of potential to develop a sustained source of research funding
  • Existing extramurally funded research program
  • Understanding of large-scale proteomics data and placing it in a biological context
  • Experience in handling large scale data
  • Experience managing direct research budgets
  • Experience teaching, mentoring, and advising students and trainees
