Assistant Professor High throughput Imaging of Gene Regulation

Assistant Professor High throughput Imaging of Gene Regulation

University of California San Diego

The Department of Bioengineering and the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of California, San Diego are dedicated to understanding the functions of individual cell types within complex tissue environments. Recent advances in imaging technologies and molecular biology have the potential to qualitatively advance these goals by linking cell-specific gene expression with precise anatomic location. This capability has numerous applications to fundamental questions in the fields of developmental biology, physiology, immunology and most human diseases that result in significant unmet medical needs. We invite applications from outstanding candidates for a tenure-track faculty position (Assistant Professor) jointly appointed across the Departments of Bioengineering and Cellular and Molecular Medicine. This initiative will leverage local strengths in bioengineering, physics, data science, genomics and basic science investigation of human disease.

The Department of Bioengineering, in the Jacobs School of Engineering and the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, in the School of Medicine, are committed to building an excellent, diverse and inclusive faculty, staff and student body (http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/diversity/) .
