Bejerano Lab, Stanford University

Openings (at http://bejerano.stanford.edu/)

The Bejerano Lab focus is on understanding vertebrate gene regulation, through a combination of computational and functional genomics approaches. Please see our Background, Research Interests, and Projects pages, and below for more.

Research interests in the lab include:

(Dry) Computational tool design and implementation
(Dry) Biological and biomedical data exploration and discovery
(Dry) Graphical user interfaces & web services design and implementation
(Wet) Deriving hypothesis driven projects from genomic surveys
(Wet) Developing systems that benefit from our unique capabilities
(Wet+Dry) Joint projects with excellent collaborator labs

Lab members focus on a subset of skills of their choice, in an extremely collaborative and supportive environment. Please see our openings for:

Suitable individuals are encouraged to contact Gill. Please include your CV, list of references, and for current Stanford students, a list of courses you are taking this year, along with your introductory note.

If you are already at Stanford and are considering working in our lab, you are strongly encouraged to take (students) or audit Gill's course in Fall.
Experimentalists with a first time hands-on interest in computation (not a requirement to join our lab) will value CS106A given most quarters each year.

About The Lab

Our lab space combines dry (computational) and wet (experimental) space, and resides within Stanford's Department of Developmental Biology, enjoying access to much shared equipment, and advice from top neighboring labs. We are also members of the Stanford Computer Science Department and are part of its AI (artificial intelligence) Lab. This provides close relationships with some of the world's leaders in Machine Learning, and related areas, and excellent system administration for our massive computing infrastructure. We also have close ties with the UCSC Genomics Group, providing intimate access to the world's richest portal to the human genome.

Combined, we practice 21st century Biology - utilizing powerful algorithms and hardware to sift through the multitudes of available data; and taking resulting hypotheses to the lab. Few scientific fields can currently offer similar opportunities, literally ranging from rewriting basic science to innovating bedside medicine.

We are grateful to several foundations and agencies, and their advisory boards, for putting their trust, and money, in us. We strive to maximize their returns.
