Note: If you are considering working in our lab, you are
strongly encouraged
to attend
Gill's course (CS/DB/BMI 273A). Experimentalists will value CS 106A,B.

The Bejerano Lab is growing. Our focus is on understanding vertebrate
gene regulation, through a combination of computational and
functional genomics approaches.
We specialize in computational genomics, backed by a powerful in-house
(hundreds of CPUs, teras of bytes) compute cluster. We are affiliated
with the Stanford Computer Science department and are part of its
wonderful AI lab. We are also fortunate to have close
ties with the UCSC genome browser group. Our lab space, however,
combines both
dry
and
wet benches, and resides within Stanford's department of Developmental
Biology, allowing us to benefit from close ties and collaboration with
neighboring top notch experimental labs.
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.
Projects in the lab include:
- Computational tool
design and implementation
- Large scale data exploration and discovery
- Discovery empowering graphical user interfaces (GUI)
- Harvesting repositories of biomedical data (ontologies etc.)
- Hypothesis driven
experimentation
Lab members focus on a subset of skills of
their choice.
Staff positions
We are recruiting an individual with proven
expertise
in computational tool building, and a willingness to learn genomic
concepts, for a
software
developer position.
We especially welcome individuals with proven track record who are interested in working in academia to
make a difference.
Job Ad
We also seek a highly motivated, highly skilled and independent
individual, at
the
PhD level
or equivalent, to
lead our
budding effort in
functional
genomics.
Job Ad
RAship requests from
Stanford Masters students / Undergrads will
only be considered
for individuals
with a
proven
background in computational genomics, and those completing Gill's
course. Undergrads are also encouraged to consider Stanford's intern
program,
CURIS.
Postdoc positions
A
postdoc position
is open for an individual with a
proven
track
record in computation or functional genomics, and excellent references
to match.
Postdoc and visiting scientist applications from researchers interested
in
transitioning
into this blossoming field will be considered on
condition that the applicant provides their
own funding.
Stanford Graduate
Students
We welcome brilliant, enthusiastic, devoted
Stanford students to
join our group.
Computationalists
with little Biology are very welcome. A substantial part of our effort
is currently devoted to building our computational arsenal, and
opportunities for system design and tool building
abound.
Experimentalists
who desire a strong computational component in their work, are also
very welcome. You will not be alone - we have already started experimenting, and will welcome strong additions. Joint
appointments
with the
Kingsley,
Scott,
Baker
and other Stanford labs are also possible.
Others
We are
not
offering short term internships for non-Stanford
students.
Overseas requests for several months internships will
not be answered.
We
cannot help with graduate admissions to Stanford (please see
Med,
CS).
To Apply
Suitable individuals for all positions are strongly encouraged to
contact
Gill.
Please include your CV,
list of references, and for Stanford students, a list of courses you are taking this year, along with your
introductory note.
