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
Dr. Loic A. Royer leads an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, optical engineers, and biologists with a shared vision: mapping the emergence of cell types and states during embryonic development. This ambitious goal, exemplified by their recent Multimodal Atlas of Vertebrate Development (Lange et al.), drives the Royer Group to develop cutting-edge technologies. They combine state-of-the-art light-sheet fluorescence microscopy for live, volumetric, and multi-color imaging of zebrafish embryos with advanced image processing and analysis algorithms. This approach enables cell tracking in whole embryos with unprecedented precision and scale (Bragantini et al.). The project's success hinges on seamless collaboration across diverse fields, including transgenic line development, genomics, and more...
We are seeking a Scientist (PhD-level) who will contribute to building a 'Virtual Zebrafish Embryo' by leveraging these cutting-edge technologies. The successful candidate will be instrumental in advancing our understanding of how embryos develop into fully formed organisms by asking fundamental questions and driving interdisciplinary research. As a key member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work at the frontier of developmental biology, advanced microscopy, single-cell genomics, and computational methods. You will contribute to expanding the Zebrahub platform and play a pivotal role in our mission to create a comprehensive multimodal atlas of cellular behavior in a developing vertebrate organism.
You will report directly to Loic A. Royer, Director of Imaging AI and Senior Group Leader of Quantitative Cell Science at CZ Biohub, San Francisco.
