We are looking for creative and passionate people at any stage in their careers. The research scientist will work closely with the PI to invent new molecular and genomic technologies, apply these technologies at large scale to understand the regulatory wiring of the genome, and mentor and train other members in the Engreitz Labory.

Specific projects include: to develop CRISPR-based tools to map the functions of thousands of noncoding variants and enhancers; chart enhancer-promoter regulation in every cell type and state in the developing heart using single-cell CRISPR and epigenomic tools; understand enhancer-promoter biochemical specificity by synthetic DNA engineering of millions of enhancer-promoter combinations; and develop novel computational models to understand genetic regulation of heart disease by noncoding variants. For more information and recent work, see www.engreitzlab.org.

The Engreitz Laboratory is a dynamic, interdisciplinary workplace that will provide unique access to cutting edge technologies and scientific thought, with the potential for widespread recognition of scientific contributions. We value a diversity of values, backgrounds, and approaches to solving problems.

The candidate for this position should have hands-on experience in molecular biology, genomics, and cellular assay development; experience with quantitative data analysis; curiosity in research and creativity in problem-solving; strong interpersonal and collaboration skills; experience building or managing teams; outstanding verbal and written communication abilities; ability to adapt to and effectively manage changes in a fast paced and dynamic environment; and have a passion for science and sense of urgency to find new medicines to benefit patients.
