Postdoctoral Fellow (Einav Lab)
9420 Athena Cir, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA
Req #380 Tuesday, January 7, 2025
The Einav lab at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) is looking for a postdoc to develop models that harness and augment our antibody response against viruses. Our lab is 100% computational, although we collaborate closely with experimentalists in San Diego and abroad to develop more effective vaccines and treatments. Immunology is now a data-rich discipline, and the main limitation of modeling efforts is in where and how creatively we apply them. This is where art meets science. We develop tools that combine machine learning and biophysics to predict which vaccine will elicit the strongest, broadest, and longest-lasting response in each person. We are a small, close-knit team that is working hard to make the world a better place. Come join us! Qualifications include:
For inquiries: Please familiarize yourself with our research and submit the following documents: (1) a cover letter describing your background and interest in the position, (2) your CV, and (3) contact information for three references.
