About this position

The Schmiedel Laboratory at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow to work at the intersection of genetics, immunology, and functional genomics.

The project focuses on understanding how genetic variation shapes gene regulation in human immune cells and contributes to complex immune-mediated diseases. The lab uses single-cell multi-omics and related approaches, including scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, and spatial transcriptomics, together with functional cell-based assays in human and mouse models.

Applicants should hold a PhD or MD/PhD in Immunology, Genomics, Molecular Biology, Genetics, or a closely related field (completed or nearing completion). Strong experience in human immunology/cell biology, genomics/epigenetics, or in vivo mouse work is expected, along with a strong publication record and excellent communication and organizational skills. Basic R/Python skills and CRISPR experience are preferred.

This is a full-time postdoctoral employment opportunity in La Jolla, California, USA, with a competitive salary and benefits package including medical/dental/vision coverage, paid sick leave, and retirement contributions. The posting lists salary range USD 73,840–85,704.

To apply, submit a cover letter, CV with full publication list, and contact information for three professional references. Applications without a cover letter will not be reviewed.
