Research associate job at UCLA
Postdoctoral Scholar Salary range: $66,737 - $80,034. Salary based on experience Application Window Applications received after this date will be reviewed by the search committee if the position has not yet been filled. Final date: Friday, Jun 5, 2026 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Applications will continue to be accepted until this date, but those received after the review date will only be considered if the position has not yet been filled. Position description The laboratory of Dr. Elaine F. Reed is seeking applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Scholar position within the Division of The Immunogenetics Center, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM), at the University of California, Los Angeles. DGSOM is one of the most renowned public medical schools ranking 5th in the US and UCLA is the #1 ranked US public University. The lab is part of the Immunology, Inflammation, Infection and Transplantation Research Theme (I3T) located in the state-of-the-art South Tower CHS research building known for its multi-disciplinary and collaborative environment. As a curiosity-driven transplant and systems immunology lab, we are broadly interested in uncovering mechanisms of alloimmune responses to the allograft and tolerance induction. We use systems immunology approaches including multiparameter immunophenotyping, transcriptomics, proteomics, leukocyte functional assays, and statistical and computational biology to define mechanisms of cellular and humoral immunity to the transplanted organ and how alloimmunity is suppressed in patients receiving donor hematopoietic stem cells. In addition, the lab is using novel, spatial omics approaches to more comprehensively understand transplant pathology. The main goal is to identify and validate novel biomarkers of cellular and humoral rejection and tolerance induction that can inform both diagnostic precision and the development of appropriate treatment strategies in transplant immunology. The candidate will benefit from a highly collaborative and diverse team of investigators at UCLA including experts in immunogenetics, immunology, transplantation, infectious disease, biostatistics and computational immunology at the University of California Los Angeles. Qualifications: The candidate should have a recent PhD and/or MD/PhD (within the past 2 years) and a strong background in immunology, molecular, and/or cellular biology. The candidate should be skillful in molecular and cellular laboratory techniques including flow cytometry, immune functional assays, ELISA, purification and culture of primary human cells, and single cell sequencing. Bioinformatics and computational skills are highly desirable, with a focus on experience with single cell and spatial omics datasets. The candidate must have strong written and oral communication skills, be highly motivated, independent, intellectually creative, and function well as part of a team. Candidates will be expected to contribute to ongoing projects and expand novel independent research projects in a collaborative research environment. How To Apply: Interested candidates should submit their CV as well as a cover letter indicating how their past research experience, interests, and goals align with the qualifications for the position and activities of the laboratory. The letter should also include the names and contact information for three references. Please submit to: Dr. Elaine F. Reed by email (*********************).

Position description Postdoctoral positions are available in the lab of Dr. Mireille Kamariza at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), located in the Bioengineering Department. Leveraging chemical biology and fluorescence imaging techniques, we are developing a new platform to detect tuberculosis (TB) drug resistance in patient samples. Poor diagnostic tools to detect active disease hamper TB control programs. Accurate detection of live Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) could therefore improve TB diagnosis and patient treatment. Postdoctoral fellows will work on interdisciplinary projects within a highly collaborative environment to identify optimal combinations of TB drugs, old and new. Using high-throughput image analysis or large-scale quantitative fluorescence analysis, candidates will decipher drug efficacy and efficiency and potentially gain mechanistic insights for designing novel therapeutic strategies. This project will equip the candidates with skills in microbiology, chemical and molecular biology.
