Who Are We Looking For?
Combining computational and experimental genomics under one roof, our
lab recruits individuals with talent and passion for one or more
relevant areas: molecular biology, computational tool use and
computational tool building. We are always recruiting for our active
projects. We are currently particularly (but not exclusively) interested in hiring/training in
the following areas:
- Computational genomics of early forebrain, limb or placenta
development.
- Molecular biology of early forebrain, limb or placenta
development.
- Cis regulation experiments in the zebrafish model organism.
- The extraction of testable and validated hypotheses from the
biomedical literature and ontologies.
- Computational genomics of vertebrate genome evolution.
- Scientific visualization.
How To Proceed?
Staff
We will consider opening a staff position for a person with an
established track record in the zebrafish
model organism. Contact Gill if you are interested and have the
necessary credentials.
We
will also soon publicize a software engineering / web developer
opening. If you are a solid programmer with web development experience
wanting to work on exciting and highly visible tools with much more
ownership than a typical industry job, feel free to contact Gill.
Post Docs
Applicants, experimental and computational, should have a Ph.D in a
relevant field, demonstrated experience in research, excellent writing
and communication skills, a record of peer-reviewed publications, and
motivation for independent research.
When contacting Gill please provide a cover letter including
description of research experience, career goals and potential project(s) of interest in our lab; a curriculum vitae;
and contact information for three references.
Stanford Graduate Students
We welcome all Stanford Ph.D. students with interests in
computational tool building, computational tool use or molecular
biology experimentation, and solid background in at least one of these fields, to
approach us for a rotation.
When contacting Gill please provide an introductory note, a short
curriculum vitae, and your course plan for this year.
Stanford Undergraduate, Co-Term and
Masters Students
We are currently looking for an experimental undergrad/co-term for an exciting research position in our lab.We also offer computational training positions to current undergraduate,
co-term, and masters students with a proven background in computational
genomics. A strong preference is given to students who do well in Gill's
CS273A fall class.
Undergraduate Senior Project inquiries from Stanford's
computational and biological programs, preferably at the Junior year,
are also welcome. Computational students may also look into CS191 or
CS194 projects, Honors Thesis and our lab's annual postings on CURIS, Stanford's summer intern program.
When contacting Gill please provide an introductory note with
your interests along with your (unofficial) transcript and course plan
for this year.
Others
Transitioning Into Genomics
We typically cannot support postdoc and visiting scientist
applications from researchers interested in transitioning into Genomics
from unrelated fields, even when the candidate can provide their own
funding.
Prospective Stanford Graduate Students
Unfortunately, we cannot help with Stanford graduate studies
admissions. Please see admissions information for the
Biosciences
program and the
Computer Science department. We are happy to discuss
rotations once you have been admitted to a Stanford program.
Internships
We do not offer internships for students not already enrolled
at Stanford.
