The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) () is an independent nonprofit research institute that brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine. CZ Biohub SF itself supports some of the brightest, boldest engineers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease and develop new technologies that will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies. We are guided by our values of scholarly excellence; disruptive innovation; hands-on engineering/hacking/building; partnership and collaboration; open communication and respect; inclusiveness; and opportunity for all. Our Vision We pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environments We enable individual investigators to pursue their riskiest and most innovative ideas The technologies developed at CZ Biohub San Francisco facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyond Diversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives are at the heart of CZ Biohub Network and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive organization where all colleagues feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution. The Opportunity The Kistler Group () at CZ Biohub San Francisco investigates the host factors required for the formation and function of viral replication and transcription complexes in cells infected with diverse human viral pathogens. Our primary goal is to understand the landscape of molecular mechanisms by which viruses transform cells into viral replication factories during infection. We apply a multidisciplinary approach to our research and actively collaborate with virology, cell biology, genomics, proteomics, microscopy, and data science teams at the CZ Biohub San Francisco. We are seeking a creative and dynamic Scientist to join our team - someone keen to explore the structural and functional molecular transformations that arise within the cell during the virus replication phase of infection. This role will involve multiomics analysis, comparative virology, and bioinformatics to elucidate host pathways hijacked by different viruses, with an eye towards ultimately identifying potential novel host targets for antiviral therapies impacting viral replication and transcription. The application requires a cover letter that includes your interest in this role, the contributions you are excited to make, the skills you want to strengthen on the job, your professional goals, and how this role can help you achieve them.
