BACKGROUND

The Vijayanand laboratory (https://www.lji.org/labs/vijayanand/) at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (https://LJI.org) in San Diego is seeking a number of highly motivated postdoctoral candidates for positions in immunology, genomics and computational biology. The Vijayanand lab employs genomic tools, genetics and computational approaches to understand the immunological basis of human diseases such as cancer, asthma and COVID-19.

LOCATION

The Institute hosts 20 world-renowned faculty and over 200 postdoctoral researchers hailing from 20+ different countries. LJI is located in the Science Research Park on the campus of UC San Diego, with easy access to the San Diego life sciences community and all that the area has to offer.

COMPENSATION

To be determined based on experience. Full-time employment at LJI includes a competitive salary, medical/dental/vision benefits, paid vacation/sick leave, and contributions to a retirement plan (403B).

HOW TO APPLY
