About this position
The Department of Bioengineering in the College of Engineering at The University of Texas at Arlington is seeking a postdoctoral research associate for the Lal Lab. The lab develops computational and systems biology approaches to understand treatment response, toxicity, and disease progression in cancer.
The project sits at the intersection of computational genomics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and translational oncology. The successful researcher will analyze large-scale multi-omic datasets from pediatric cancer cohorts, including whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing, RNA-seq, and DNA methylation data. The work will support the identification of actionable biomarkers and therapeutic vulnerabilities relevant to pediatric precision oncology and treatment-related toxicities.
Responsibilities include developing state-of-the-art computational and statistical methods for integrative multi-omics analysis, using high-performance computing environments, and translating in silico findings into biologically meaningful insights. The researcher will collaborate with clinicians and experimental scientists, including translational researchers at Cook Children’s Medical Center, to address real-world clinical questions.
The role also provides an opportunity to communicate findings to interdisciplinary collaborators, prepare research manuscripts, and contribute to grant proposals. The research environment is embedded in UTA’s active Bioengineering department, which supports work in cancer, imaging, biomedical technology, and related areas through collaborations with nearby UT Southwestern Medical Center and other research partners.
This is a full-time, benefits-eligible postdoctoral research position with continuing expected funding.
