About this position

The Chiang lab at the University of Southern California is seeking a Senior Research Associate to contribute to research at the intersection of human medical genetics and population genetics. The lab uses cutting-edge analytic tools to study the evolution and architecture of complex traits, the history of diverse human populations, and how genomic variation can inform future medical genetics and personalized medicine.

The successful candidate will join an active research group with funded R35 and R01 grants and will have substantial input into the direction of ongoing projects. The position includes opportunities to pursue projects that fit the lab’s research interests, including learning about demographic history and natural selection from genetic variation data, understanding the genetic architecture and evolutionary history of complex traits in diverse populations, and working on both method development and large-scale data analysis.

  • Analysis of large-scale genotyping, next-generation sequencing, and multi-omic human data
  • Research on diverse populations using genomic variation data
  • Method development and computational analysis in a genetics-focused lab
  • Participation in training and mentoring students

The role is based in the greater Los Angeles area, with some work-from-home flexibility, and is embedded in a research environment that emphasizes a vibrant and respectful lab culture.

Funding details

Funded research position supported by R35 and R01 grants; annual base salary range is $76,675.67 - $90,000.

What's required

A Ph.D. in genetics, computer science, bioinformatics, computational biology, or a related field is required. Applicants should have at least 3 years of experience conducting human genetics or population genetics research in a Unix-based computing environment, at least 18 months of post-doctoral experience, and proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, C++, or R. The role expects a longer-term commitment and experience that supports research specialization, with the ability to assist with mentoring students.

How to apply

Submit a CV, a 1–2 page cover letter describing your research interests and fit with the lab, and contact information for 2–3 references through the Workday application link. Reference letters are accepted but not required at this stage. For informal inquiries, contact Charleston Chiang by email.
