Funded PhD positions are advertised for Fall 2027 . Research areas and keywords: computational genomics, statistical genetics, bioengineering, genomic medicine, precision medicine, disease heterogeneity, and methods development. Funding: The PhD positions are explicitly funded. The post does not specify stipend amount, tuition coverage, or other financial details. Eligibility highlights: The post is aimed at candidates interested in computational and statistical approaches to human disease and genomics. No additional formal requirements are stated in the post. How to apply: Check the UCLA Tanigawa Lab recruiting information and follow the lab’s application/contact instructions. Interested candidates should review the lab website and reach out if their background matches the advertised research areas. Application window: The post mentions a Fall 2027 PhD start date and a flexible start date for postdocs, but no explicit deadline is given.

UCLA Tanigawa Lab is recruiting for PhD and postdoctoral positions in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of California, Los Angeles. The lab works on biomedical data science , statistical modeling , human genetics , computational genomics , AI/ML , cross-ancestry polygenic prediction , and therapeutic target discovery . The research theme is disease heterogeneity: understanding why individuals differ in disease onset, progression, and treatment response, and developing statistical and computational tools to uncover the mechanistic basis of these differences. PhD opportunities are funded and available through either the Graduate Program in Bioengineering (direct admission) or the Bioinformatics interdepartmental PhD program. The application deadline is December 1, 2026 . Applicants are encouraged to contact the lab before the deadline to discuss motivation, interests, and qualifications. Postdoctoral openings are available for a mutually agreed interdisciplinary project on representation learning for disease heterogeneity dissection. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis after the initial review date and remain open until filled. The PI encourages applicants to also pursue external postdoctoral fellowships and offers support where possible. Applicants should send a specific inquiry and an up-to-date CV/resume to [email protected] . Postdoc applicants should also prepare a CV, cover letter, statement of research, and optional teaching statement. Generic emails are discouraged; the lab asks for clear alignment with its research program.
