Ph.D. students
We are currently looking for graduate students.
If you are interested in joining the lab consider applying to one of UCSF’s quantitative biosciences programs.
Note that admissions are handled by separate admissions committees, and so individual faculty do not have influence over the admissions process.
Postdocs
We are always looking for enthusiastic postdocs interested in quantitative work.
Experience in statistical genetics, machine learning, or population genetics is a plus.
