SCRIPPS GENOMIC MEDICINE
A Collaboration of Scripps Health and The Scripps Research Institute

Join a dynamic organization, Scripps Genomic Medicine, an initiative ofScripps Health in collaboration with The Scripps Research Institute. Ourorganization supports basic research and clinical programs focused onidentifying and characterizing genes that underlie susceptibility to disease.

Duties & Responsibilities: A postdoctoral position is available inthe newly formed Scripps Genomic Medicine Group. The goal of ourresearch is to identify and characterize DNA variants associated withhuman disease. We will also conduct cohort sequencing studies ofkilobase-sized intervals in the human genome to gain insight into theallelic frequency spectrum and structure of DNA variation involved indisease. Additionally, we will perform focused functional studies tostudy the biological mechanisms underlying the association between DNAvariants and disease. Primary duties for this position includeestablishing high-through protocols as well as targeted functionalbiological assays, and analyze data.

Requirements: The individual must be a highly motivated individual witha Ph.D. in Genetics, Molecular Biology or other related field. Expertisein a broad range of molecular-biological and biochemical techniques(cloning, sequencing, PCR, purification of DNA, RNA, proteins, etc.) isdesirable. Proficiency in the use of currently existing bioinformaticprograms and tools for human DNA sequence analysis, knowledge of publicgenomic databases, gene expression analysis, and association studyanalysis is a plus.
