Our commitment

Sanford Burnham Prebys is more than an Institute or a place where science is conducted. The most important thing at our Institute is the people who work here.  

A commitment to diversity and inclusion has been fundamental to our organization since the beginning. Today our scientists, postdoctoral candidates, graduate students and staff hail from many different backgrounds and from all over the world representing more than 30 countries.

We celebrate these differences and recognize that when unique perspectives come together it adds richness and creativity to our work. Having a diverse and inclusive environment catalyzes innovation and fuels discovery, allowing us to achieve our organizational mission.  

We welcome talented individuals of all backgrounds, cultures, values, beliefs and experiences regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, medical condition, genetic information, military or veteran status.  

We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and affirmative action employer.
