Job description
from Genentech careersThe Position
A healthier future. It’s what drives us to innovate. To continuously advance science and ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need today and for generations to come. Creating a world where we all have more time with the people we love. That’s what makes us Genentech.
A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the ReLU lab, led by Gokcen Eraslan within the Biology Research AI Development (BRAID) department of Genentech's Computational Sciences Center of Excellence (CS-CoE) organization. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and regulatory genomics, developing and applying state-of-the-art computational methods to critical scientific challenges.
The primary focus of this postdoctoral role will be developing and applying advanced AI models and sophisticated multi-agent systems to address pressing challenges in regulatory genomics.
Key research areas include:
Mechanisms of Common and Rare Genetic Variations: Investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic variations, elucidating how these variants influence gene regulation and contribute to health and disease states
Design of Non-Coding Genome Edits: Develop innovative machine learning approaches for designing precise non-coding genome edits, focusing on how non-coding alterations influence gene regulation and cellular function
Disruptions in Post-Transcriptional Regulatory Processes: Analyze how alterations in RNA processing, stability, and translation contribute to cellular dysfunction and disease pathogenesis using mechanistic or quasi-mechanistic models
