The University of Southern California (USC), founded in 1880, is located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles and is the largest private employer in the City of Los Angeles. USC is consistently ranked among the nation’s most prestigious universities, and the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology features one of the world’s best degree and research programs in gerontology. The USC Leonard Davis... School has an international reputation as a hub of aging research and with additional strong programs throughout the university leads the way in defining and advancing the field of gerontology. An exciting opportunity has been created for an enterprising Bioinformatician to join the USC-Buck Nathan Shock Center (NSC) Genomic Translation Across Species Core (GTASC) within the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology’s Bioinformatics Core at the University of Southern California (USC). The mission of the Gerontology Bioinformatics Core (GBC) is to facilitate the development of data analytic procedures to enable the translation of big data into research findings. The Bioinformatics Core has growth opportunities with funded research projects that integrate multiple disciplines, including aging biology, geroscience, lifespan, and developmental psychology, genetics, demography, and public health. In particular, we have a strong focus on using genomic data derived from diverse human cohorts to validate findings in model organisms to better understand the architecture of complex traits related to aging-related diseases and longevity.

DESCRIPTION The mission of the collaborative effort between the Bintu lab and the UCSD Center for Epigenomics is to develop a quantitative and molecular framework to study the function and regulation of the human genome, with the ultimate goal to understand the molecular basis of neurodegenerative diseases. The epigenome plays a central role in regulating the functional output of the genome during development. Changes in the epigenome that result from exposure to stress, pathogenic conditions, and aging can determine the patterns of gene expression and predispose an individual to diseases. Epigenome research promises to significantly improve our understanding of the factors that drive human development and disease. The Bintu lab and the UCSD Center for Epigenomics works with researchers on the UCSD campus and beyond to foster the application of epigenomic concepts and technologies to clinical, translational, and basic research.
