Position description Lead Neuroscientist (QBI/UCSF; Krogan lab) About QBI The Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI; https://qbi.ucsf.edu/) 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 neurodevelopmental/psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as cancer and infectious diseases. Our current projects include research on tauopathies, pain, autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, and others. 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 Neuroscientist to spearhead research efforts and facilitate the coordination of large collaborative scientific initiatives.
