Summary
The Bakar Computational Biomedicine Initiative (BCBI) at UC Berkeley and UCSF invites applications for its Bakar Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computational Biomedicine. The fellowship is designed for exceptional early-career scientists working at the intersection of AI, machine learning, computer science, statistics, mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine.
The two-year fellowship, with the possibility of renewal for a third year based on performance, provides fellows with the opportunity to pursue independent and interdisciplinary research while collaborating with computational, experimental, biological, and biomedical researchers across the UC Berkeley–UCSF ecosystem.
Researchers with strong quantitative and computational backgrounds who are interested in transitioning into biomedicine are particularly encouraged to apply. Prior research experience in biology or biomedicine is valued but not required.
