Candidates with an established track record in sequencing methodology development, genomics, functional genomics (studied using saturation mutagenesis), and molecular engineering are highly welcome.
• Develop novel technologies in RNA therapeutics (including either using RNA as medicine or targeting RNA in diseases). Candidates with an established track record in targeting RNA or engineering RNA for protein production, decay, and localization in health and disease systems are strongly encouraged to apply.
• AI and computational biology, to develop/use the latest machine learning strategies and computational analytics to analyze genomic and multimodal data to enable novel insights into biology and human health.

Principal investigators will be able to leverage GIS's strong sequencing facility, technology platforms, novel computational analytics, and outstanding biological systems to create scientific and societal impact.

Qualified candidates should have an MD, PhD, or equivalent degree in the biological, genomic, or computational sciences, and a demonstrated ability to conduct cutting-edge team-based research with a strong record of peer-reviewed publications, and external funding. Past successes in intellectual property creation will be an advantage. You must be comfortable working in a dynamic research organization. Strong communication skills and a willingness to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment are critical for success.
