Position description
The Sonnenberg Laboratory in the Division of Digestive Diseases, Department of Medicine, at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is seeking an Assistant Project Scientist with extensive experience in mucosal immunology and gut inflammation-related research across pre-clinical models. The candidate must have completed 5 years of postdoctoral research and acquired an additional 5 years of research experience in the field of mucosal immunology with a deep understanding of the different forms of pre-clinical models and how these relate to gut health.
In this position, the candidate will creatively initiate a program that studies distinct immunology mechanisms into the regulation of gut health with a focus on chronic inflammation. The candidate must be able to analyze and interpret said data and use these to generate new ideas and hypotheses to move the project/field forward. The project will focus on identifying new mechanisms leading to immune regulation in the gut. The candidate will report to Dr. Gregory Sonnenberg and will have access to all of the resources and reagents in the Sonnenberg lab to accomplish the work. A Ph.D. is required.

The University of California, Los Angeles is a public land-grant research university in Los Angeles, California. UCLA's academic roots were established in 1881 as a teachers college then known as the southern branch of the California State Normal School. This school was absorbed with the official founding of UCLA as the Southern Branch of the University of California in 1919, making it the second-oldest of the 10-campus University of California system.
UCLA offers 337 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in a wide range of disciplines, enrolling about 31,600 undergraduate and 14,300 graduate and professional students. UCLA received 174,914 undergraduate applications for Fall 2022, including transfers, making the school the most applied-to university in the United States.
The university is organized into the College of Letters and Science and 12 professional schools. Six of the schools offer undergraduate degree programs: the School of the Arts and Architecture, Samueli School of Engineering, Herb Alpert School of Music, School of Nursing, Luskin School of Public Affairs and School of Theater, Film and Television. Three others are graduate-level professional health science schools: the David Geffen School of Medicine, School of Dentistry and Fielding School of Public Health. The School of Education & Information Studies, Anderson School of Management and School of Law round out the university.
