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

HOW TO APPLY

Interested candidates MUST include their CV, cover letter, and the names of three references to be considered. Please send them to bpeters[at]lji.org
