Postdoctoral Research Associates in Cancer Cell Biology, Immunobiology, and Tumor Microenvironment University of Arizona Cancer Center in United States

Postdoctoral Research Associates are open in the Theodorescu Lab at the University of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson, Arizona.

The lab works on cancer cell biology, immunobiology, the tumor microenvironment (TME), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) to study cancer transformation. The research toolkit includes biochemistry and molecular biology, CRISPR/Cas9 and functional genomics, next-generation sequencing including single-cell RNA sequencing, and proprietary mouse models.

This is a research-intensive postdoctoral role with approximately 75% bench research and 25% analysis and writing. Responsibilities include designing and performing laboratory experiments, documenting results, analyzing data with the PI, writing peer-reviewed manuscripts, and helping prepare grant proposals including NRSA/T32 applications.

Applicants must have a doctorate degree such as PhD, MD, or MD/PhD in cancer molecular biology, cell biology, or immunology. Recent graduates are welcome. Preferred candidates will have an outstanding publication record or existing extramural funding, along with strong molecular biology expertise and data analysis skills.

The position is full-time with salary following NIH guidelines and depending on experience. Benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance, plus paid leave and holidays. The post also mentions tuition reduction for employees and qualified family members.

To apply, use posting number req25825 and submit a CV and cover letter online. The cover letter should explain how your background matches the role. For inquiries, contact Dr. Dan Theodorescu at [email protected].
