The posting

We are seeking a full-time Laboratory Research Technician in Professor Shane Crotty's laboratory at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI). The Crotty Lab is working on a variety of high-impact scientific projects in immune responses to infection and vaccines. We are looking for someone with a drive for discovery and for paving the way to improve our understanding of how the human body can prevent or fight infection by developing robust immunity. The ideal candidate would be an integral part of a strong team of scientists and work in a positive environment that provides mentorship, fosters talent, and encourages growth and learning. LJI is a world-renowned institute that provides fantastic benefits and excellent support for its researchers.  

Examples of Crotty lab research: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07748-8, DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.adz8439, DOI: 10.1172/jci.insight.186078

Research Technicians are encouraged to understand the scientific rationale behind the techniques they perform, interpret their results, troubleshoot experiments, and actively participate in discussions about their projects. You will learn not only how to perform each technique, but also why it is being performed and how the resulting data contribute to answering important questions in human immunology.   Qualifications: • B.A./B.S. or higher in a biological science, chemistry, or biochemistry, or equivalent knowledge and experience • Experience using basic laboratory equipment • Accurate record-keeping and organizational skills • Excellent oral and written communication skills necessary for teamwork • High attention to detail and critical thinking skills   Preferred qualifications: • Previous laboratory experience in cell biology, immunology, or molecular biology • Demonstrated proficiency in blood processing, cell culture, ELISAs, flow cytometry, PCR, or other immunological/molecular techniques   Special Conditions:• Must be willing to work with recombinant DNA and biohazardous materials• Must be willing to work with human blood   How to Apply:Interested applicants should submit the following materials:

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
