General information

The Jackson Laboratory is a biomedical research organization that studies disease using genomics, mouse models and computational methods. It maintains more than 13,000 strains of mouse models, supplied to about 2,400 organizations, runs preclinical research services and platforms, and hosts the Mouse Genome Informatics database for other scientists. The lab is based in Bar Harbor, Maine, with additional campuses in Connecticut, California, China and Japan.

Founded on May 4, 1929, The Jackson Laboratory now employs more than 3,000 staff members across its locations. That scale, plus its role supplying mouse models to about 2,400 organizations worldwide, means new researchers work inside one of the field's central resources rather than on the sidelines of it. Historically, the median salary is ~$129,864. The Jackson Laboratory is a top-tier H-1B sponsor.1
