About this position

The University of Miami’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center is seeking two Postdoctoral Associates, appointed as Assistant Scientists, to join the laboratories of Dr. Anna Lasorella and Dr. Antonio Iavarone in Miami, United States.

The program focuses on experimental neuro-oncology, including the molecular genetics and biology of brain tumors and the characterization and therapeutic targeting of driver mutations involved in malignant brain tumor development and progression. Research areas include glioblastoma, cancer genomics, molecular and cellular biology, protein biochemistry, pharmacology, bioinformatics, and systems biology.

Researchers use next-generation DNA/RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, patient-derived glioma organoids and xenografts, engineered mouse brain tumor models, mammalian cell culture, cell-based assays, and intracranial tumor procedures. The laboratories combine bench research with computational approaches to investigate tumor biology and develop rational therapeutic strategies.

Applicants should hold a PhD or medical degree and have at least one year of relevant research experience. Preferred backgrounds include cancer biology, pharmacology, bioinformatics, cancer genomics, developmental biology, immunology, or neuroscience, along with peer-reviewed publications and practical experience in molecular biology, cell-based assays, sequencing, and rodent procedures. The position requires careful record keeping, technical adaptability, independent work, teamwork, and strong scientific communication.

This is a full-time, on-site position at the University of Miami/UHealth campus. The appointment offers a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits, including medical and dental coverage and tuition remission. Mentoring is available for postdoctoral fellowship grant applications.

Funding details

Full-time employment with a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, including medical and dental benefits, tuition remission, and other benefits. The laboratories provide mentoring and support for applying for competitive postdoctoral fellowship grants.

What's required

Candidates must hold a medical degree or doctoral degree, with a PhD required for the Assistant Scientist role, and at least one year of relevant experience. Applicants should have life-science research experience, preferably including wet-lab experimental work in protein biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, mouse models, cancer biology, pharmacology, bioinformatics, or cancer genomics. Experience in developmental biology, immunology, or neuroscience may also be considered if transferable. A record of peer-reviewed publications is expected. Candidates need technical aptitude for molecular biology, cell-based assays, single-cell assays, sequencing, and rodent procedures; strong experimental documentation and organizational skills; and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment under tight deadlines.

How to apply

Apply through the University of Miami Workday application portal using the direct job link. Current University of Miami staff should use the internal Workday application process.
