Our History of Achievement Owes Itself to Teamwork
"From its very inception, the Santa Rosa Institute has been committed to making people's lives better. Because our goals are high, we expect nothing less than the best from our employees. We hire the most qualified, enthusiastic workers, then provide a challenging yet supportive environment. We encourage publication, interaction, and creativity. In return, we offer a competitive salary, outstanding benefits and unmatched facilities.
That tradition of looking for the best people and providing an environment in which they can flourish is what makes Santa Rosa work. I take great pride in our team, and their contributions to the betterment of humankind."

The Institute's success depends on its ability to recruit and retain qualified and motivated people in all areas of the company. Of the more than 1500 Santa Rosa employees, more than 80 percent have college degrees, with over 40 percent holding advanced degrees.
Santa Rosa demands the best from its employees and rewards them accordingly. Our superb benefits package sets the standard in the industry. We offer a generous health care plan, paid sabbaticals and an innovative day care center with low teacher-student ratios.
Institute employees have made a commitment to improve the quality and quantity of human life. That commitment has led to impressive scientific achievements and extends beyond office hours in the form of volunteer efforts throughout the community.
The Workplace
At the Santa Rosa Institute, we strive to create an environment where employees can enjoy coming to work every day. We don't believe in excessive guidelines and procedures and allow our employees a great deal of freedom within company goals to apply their skills, knowledge and inititiative in getting things done. We emphasize hard work, togetherness and sharing the rewards.
The postdoctoral program at Santa Rosa has become on of the key reasons for our success. Each year, research fellows come to Albuquerque and are given the freedom to make new discoveries in genetic research while building an outstanding career foundation. Dr. Edward Westhead, our new CEO, is just one distinguished alumni from the postdoctoral program.
As a Santa Rosa fellow, you'll find youself working with world-class scientists, including 11 Nobel laureates. Our fellowships last two years and take place under the close supervision of one of our senior scientists. Twice a year, you'll be given the opportunity to present the progress and results of your work. It's a great opportunity to live and work at the frontiers of science.
Salary and Benefits
Our progressive benefits package includes full medical/dental/vision coverage, 3 weeks paid vacation, child care and health club membership.
At the Santa Rosa Institute, we rely heavily on our postdoctoral fellows as we march steadfastly toward our goal of a longer life for everyone. The fact that so many of our postdoctoral fellows stay on after their two years are up speaks volumes about the excitement surrounding our research and the comfort of our workplace environment.
