BACKGROUND

The La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology, an independent, non-profit research institute, is seeking a talented and highly motivated postdoctoral fellow specializing in bioinformatics to join Bjoern Peters' lab (http://www.liai.org/pages/faculty-peters) in San Diego, California.

About the La Jolla Institute:
LJI is a great place to work as a postdoc. It was recently ranked as one of the world's top 5 immunology research institutes based on literature citations, and was ranked #1 in a survey of postdocs as `best places to work' worldwide by the Scientist.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Research Area:
The individual to be hired will build software tools to analyze experimental data and predict epitope targets of immune responses. The resulting tools will be made available in the IEDB (http://www.iedb.org), an NIH-funded bioinformatics resource with a large user base in academia and industry. Also, tools will be directly applied in multiple in-house projects to develop improved diagnostics, vaccines and immunotherapeutics in the Peters and Sette lab.

REQUIREMENTS

Ph.D. degree ideally in bioinformatics, candidates with equivalent skills and interests in computer science, statistics, and biomedicine will also be considered
Fluency in at least one programming language and the ability to quickly master new tools is required; practical experience with Python, Perl, R, Java, C/C++, Linux, and web server development (ideally Django) is desirable
Knowledge of immunology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics is a strong plus
Superior communication skills and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team are essential
