United States

Postdoctoral Fellow in Genomic Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX, United States). This postdoctoral opening is in the Department of Genomic Medicine and focuses on how dysfunctional hematopoiesis influences tumor progression, clonal evolution, and response to therapy in mouse models and human cancers. The initial disease focus is pancreatic cancer, with expansion to other KRAS-driven malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma. The project sits at the int...

The Salivary Disorders Unit at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a 2–5-year project on Sjögren’s disease and salivary gland dysfunction. The central research question is which antigens are recognized by T cells in Sjögren’s disease-affected salivary glands and how that recognition contributes to the loss of glandular function. The program connects a Sjögren’s disease resear...

About this position

Lin Laboratory at the University of Southern California is seeking a Research Associate to join a multidisciplinary program focused on cancer genomics, organoid biology, and the tumor microenvironment. The lab investigates the molecular mechanisms that drive cancer development, progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic response, with a particular emphasis on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and other upper aerodigestive cancers.

The position centers on experimental and translational cancer research using patient-derived tumor organoids, genetically defined organoid systems, and multi-omic datasets. The successful candidate will contribute to projects that connect cancer genomics and epigenomics with functional biology, tumor-immune interactions, and clinically relevant questions. Depending on background and interests, the work may involve organoid culture and characterization, molecular perturbation, drug-response studies, tumor-immune co-culture, flow cytometry, histology, imaging, and integration of experimental results with single-cell or spatial genomic data.

The Lin Laboratory is embedded within the USC Head and Neck Center and the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, offering a highly collaborative setting with access to clinicians, patient specimens, advanced genomic technologies, and multidisciplinary expertise. The role is designed for a scientist interested in gaining meaningful ownership of projects that link fundamental mechanisms of cancer with patient-derived models and translational research questions.

The position is part of a research environment that combines experimental biology, genomics, immunology, and data-driven analysis to study cancer in clinically anchored systems.

Funding details

NIH-funded position; annual budgeted rate is $75,000/year.

What's required

Candidates should have a PhD, MD, or equivalent doctoral degree in cancer biology, molecular biology, cell biology, genetics/genomics, immunology, bioengineering, biomedical sciences, or a related field. Minimum experience is 1 year. Preferred experience includes mammalian cell culture, primary cells or organoid culture, molecular and cellular biology methods (RNA/DNA analysis, western blotting, qPCR, immunofluorescence), cancer biology, tumor immunology, functional studies of therapeutic response, flow cytometry, microscopy, histology, quantitative image analysis, genomics, transcriptomics, single-cell or spatial data analysis, or quantitative biology. Strong candidates should be intellectually curious, careful in experimental design and data interpretation, able to work independently while collaborating effectively, and interested in developing new experimental and analytical skills.

How to apply

Apply through the USC Careers system. Include a curriculum vitae and a brief description of your research experience and interests. Review the Lin Laboratory website before applying.
