At JAX, diversity drives our science with six continents represented across our community. Human health is a global challenge, and we must consider and address the unique needs of individuals around the world. While 99% of our genomes are identical, the 1% that differs — and the complex interactions between them — can make all the difference in our health. Search current openings here.
Our people are at the heart of everything we do, including supporting international candidates during the interview and hiring process. Support begins as soon as your job offer is accepted. JAX benefits are designed to help employees and their families from day one of employment.
