Calico is seeking a highly motivated scientist to join and lead discovery research projects in the immune aging group. Specifically, we are interested in applicants with a long-term interest in understanding the aging mechanisms of immune cells, with a particular emphasis on the dysregulation of inter-organelle communication, ion signaling, and cytoskeleton reorganization. We seek expertise in applying cutting-edge biochemical, molecular, and cell biological techniques, including advanced imaging and “omics” technologies, to unlock the complexities of immune cell physiology. Join our collaborative, cross-functional environment at the forefront of aging research, work alongside world-class technology labs, and lead ambitious research projects that could transform our understanding of aging.
Position Requirements:
- PhD or equivalent degrees in immunology, cell biology, or related fields with 0-5 years of postdoctoral and industry experience
- Creative and critical thinking skills
- Strong interpersonal communication skills, both verbal and written
- Strong technical skills at the bench
- Must be willing to work onsite five days a week
Nice to have:
- Demonstrate technical expertise in the following areas: multi-color flow cytometry, live cell imaging, immune cell line, and primary immune cell culture
- Demonstrate expertise in immunology and/or cell biology as evidenced with strong publications and/or patents
- Direct experience with T cell signaling
- Proficient computational skills, including analysis of complex ‘omics data sets, complex image analysis, or mathematical modeling
The estimated base salary range for this role is $127,000 – $155,000. Actual pay will be based on a number of factors including experience and qualifications. This position is also eligible for two annual cash bonuses.
