About this position
The University of Arizona College of Medicine–Phoenix is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the laboratory of Dr. Nicole Halmai in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences. The research program focuses on functional genomics, cancer genomic medicine, precision medicine, and cancer health disparities.
The postdoctoral researcher will establish, maintain, characterize, and manipulate three-dimensional cell cultures, including patient-derived organoid lines generated from human tumor and normal biopsies. The goal is to identify clinically relevant molecular subtypes, therapeutic targets, biomarkers, and drug vulnerabilities that can improve cancer treatment.
Responsibilities include molecular and cellular assays, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and screening, targeted inhibitor screens, experimental design, data collection and analysis, protocol development, manuscript preparation, grant-writing support, conference presentations, collaboration, and assistance with laboratory operations and staff supervision.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Genetics/Genomics, Molecular/Cellular Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Physiology, or a related biomedical field. Experience in molecular biology, genomics, or primary cell culture is required. Preferred qualifications include publications, functional genomics or cancer genomic medicine experience, CRISPR/Cas9 expertise, cancer health-disparities interests, statistical and data-analysis skills, and experience with scientific writing or imaging software.
The position is located in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, at the Phoenix Bioscience Core. It is full time and eligible for visa sponsorship. Compensation follows NIH salary guidelines and depends on experience. Benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance, paid leave, holidays, tuition reduction, and university recreation and cultural benefits.
