    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 hired for the immune profiling position will work at the cutting edge of bioinformatics, immunology and epigenetics, analyzing large-scale integrated datasets including genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic profiles derived from human immune cells. The majority of this research will focus on immune signatures of protection from and susceptibility to dengue fever and tuberculosis in latently, or acutely infected or vaccinated individuals as part of a large NIH-funded collaborative project.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • Ph.D. with a strong background in bioinformatics, biostatistics, and large-scale dataset analysis
    • Excellent communication and programming skills
    • Great publication record
    • Strengths in problem-solving skills and creative thinking
    • Ability to build new software tools as needed
    • Dual background in both computation and molecular biology, ideally focusing on immunology, will be a strong plus, as is prior experience with sequencing analysis
