The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) (https://www.czbiohub.org/sf/) is an independent nonprofit research institute that brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine. CZ Biohub SF itself supports some of the brightest, boldest engineers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease and develop new technologies that will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies. We are guided by our values of scholarly excellence; disruptive innovation; hands-on engineering/hacking/building; partnership and collaboration; open communication and respect; inclusiveness; and opportunity for all.
Our Vision
Diversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives are at the heart of CZ Biohub Network and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive organization where all colleagues feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution.
The Opportunity
The Mass Spectrometry Platform led by Dr. Josh Elias at the CZ Biohub-SF is a dynamic research group which develops cutting edge methodologies in proteomics and metabolomics, and applies them across several biomedical challenges – both driven by our own academic interests, as well as assisting our key collaborators across the CZ Biohub network. In addition to linking proteomics and metabolomics in nearly every study we carry out, we are continually building infrastructure that leverages the other CZ Biohub Technology Platforms (Bioengineering, Computational Biology, Computational Microscopy, Genomics, Scientific Compute, Software Engineering), producing unparalleled opportunities for discovery (see for example, OpenCell).
In this context, we are seeking a skilled Research Associate who will apply a strong technical background to exciting interdisciplinary projects that would be difficult to take on in a traditional academic setting. The successful candidate will work on a team carrying out mass spectrometry-based method development and instrument optimization. They will further help create large data sets collected with high-throughput automation systems, and develop ways in which these data can be integrated into a growing multi-omic knowledgebase. Opportunities for taking on one or more independent projects exist that we expect will help the applicant advance in their career trajectory. The majority of work will be performed initially at the Stanford campus in Palo Alto, with periodic visits to the Mission Bay campus in San Francisco.
