Applicants need to have a PhD in fields of translational health sciences or molecular biology, with experience in high throughput omics data analysis, bioinformatics or a related field. The laboratory of Dr. Anil Sapru focuses on the pathogenetic and prognostic significance of biological markers in children with critical illnesses. Specifically, his research work focuses on the relationship of high throughput genetic, transcriptomic and other omics biomarkers with clinical outcomes among pediatric patients suffering from a number of diseases or complications while in the intensive care unit, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), stress-induced hyperglycemia, transfusions and more. The ultimate goal being understanding biological mechanisms by which these biomarker relationships may inform the testing of new therapies. The Sapru Lab has successfully designed and carried out numerous studies involving high-throughput pathway-based proteomic transcriptomic and genotyping assays. Therefore, the lab is very well-versed with analytic techniques and specialized software required to analyze the data generated from these types of studies. As part of the efforts to identify biomarkers, the laboratory has collected numerous patient-derived biological samples to build large repositories and datasets to be used to answer numerous research questions. Dr. Sapru has an excellent track record of productive research mentorship for research associates, post-doctoral and medical fellows and collaborations over the last several years. Qualifications: PhD in fields of translational health sciences or molecular biology, with experience in high throughput omics data analysis, bioinformatics or a related field Solid understanding of common laboratory approaches to biomarker analyses and molecular biology Ability to work simultaneously on multiple projects and quickly adapt to new tasks Excellent communication skills and ability to work with computational and data scientists Ability to work independently Skills: Experience in bioinformatic analyses of high throughput omics data is highly desired Experience in Next-Generation Sequencing desired Ability to maintain laboratory notebook and data in an organized manner Comfortable working with human pathogens and samples including blood, urine and more Meticulous laboratory technique Familiarity with nucleic acid extractions Sterile technique Duties: Independently conduct research as determined with Principal Investigator Writing of scientific manuscripts, abstracts and other supporting documentation Participate in laboratory meetings, educational sessions, specific safety training sessions Provide mentorship to other members of the lab Ensure that laboratory is up-to-date on all safety regulations Maintain Lab and Freezer inventories How to Apply: Interested applicants may apply through this link: https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF09786 The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by rank and step at appointment.
