Job Details

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.
