About the Position
The multi-departmental Vision Science Group on the Berkeley campus is recruiting a full time Assistant, Associate or Full Specialist to work on bioinformatics and data analysis for diverse research projects. We are seeking a highly motivated and hardworking professional who can work well in a collaborative, multidisciplinary setting that involves interfacing with multiple laboratories with varied interests.
