The Iketani Lab is actively recruiting at all levels! We are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace, as we believe that such an environment benefits everyone involved. We are passionate about science and we work hard, but we also believe that science should be fun and that we should be excited about what we do. We are fervent believers in the lab being an opportunity for each and every individual to grow and flourish, and ultimately serve as a beneficial training experience. Every effort is made with these thoughts in mind, and the Lab and PI are committed to your success, both in the lab and beyond.

Technician

We are currently recruiting for a technician for the laboratory, to work on projects on hepatitis B virus biology as well as pandemic preparedness. In addition, the candidate will be expected to help support the Lab and lab members.

Individuals interested in the position should apply via the Columbia website. Please note that a Bachelors degree in a related field is required. Applicants should submit a CV and contact information for two references with the application.

Graduate students

Students interested in the PhD program at Columbia University should apply directly to the program of their interest. For rotations in the laboratory after admission, please directly contact Sho.

Undergraduate and high school students

We have opportunities for undergraduate or high school students from time to time. Please reach out to Sho if you are interested. Note that for undergraduates, we generally do not accept students for short-term commitments (e.g., less than 1 year) outside of summers as we believe it would be more valuable for students to fully undertake a project.
