The Sette Lab at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) is an interdisciplinary team of scientists working towards understanding, preventing and curing immune-related diseases. As part of these operations, the Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Resource (IEDB), a freely available online resource supported by NIAID, was founded in 2003. There is an opening for a full time Scientific Curator to join our team.

  3. A great ability to openly accept and action constructive feedback from peer reviews

  • Strong attention to detail
  • High computer proficiency, especially with respect to word processing and excel spreadsheet applications
  • Ability to work in an independent, efficient and highly productive manner
  • Knowledge of, or strong interest in, cancer biology and immunology is a plus

The position allows for flexible work hours with the option to work remotely. Compensation is commensurate with experience.
