Join the Lab

Join Us

We’re always looking for great people to join the lab.

Graduate students

We take UCLA students from Bioinformatics, Biomathematics, Biostatistics, Genetics and Genomics, Neuroscience, and related programs. We mentor both students with strong quantitative backgrounds interested in methods development as well as students with mixed backgrounds (e.g., neuroscience or quantitative biology) interested in analyzing large data sets with specific biological questions in mind. If you think you might be a good fit, please email bballiu@ucla.edu with your research interests and your CV.

Postdoctoral researchers

We have an opening for a postdoctoral position for quantitatively skilled PhDs to study the impact of genomic variation on the gene regulatory networks of reprogramming to pluripotency as part of the IGVF consortium. The position is shared with the Zaitlen lab at UCLA. If interested, please email bballiu@ucla.edu with a short statement on your research interests, your CV, and contact information for three references.

Undergraduate students

Unfortunately, we are not accepting undergrads this quarter. However, if you think you might be a good fit in the future, email bballiu@ucla.edu with your research interests and your CV.
