About this position
The Lin Laboratory at the University of Southern California investigates the molecular mechanisms that drive cancer development, progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic response, with a strong focus on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and other upper aerodigestive cancers.
This Research Associate role sits at the intersection of cancer genomics, epigenomics, organoid biology, tumor immunology, and translational cancer research. The successful candidate will work with patient-derived tumor organoids and genetically defined organoid systems to model early malignant transformation, genotype-to-phenotype relationships, and tumor-microenvironment interactions. The lab integrates these models with clinical specimens and multi-omic datasets to study biologically and clinically relevant questions in cancer.
The position is embedded in a highly collaborative environment within the USC Head and Neck Center and the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. Research projects may include organoid culture and characterization, molecular perturbation, drug-response studies, tumor-immune co-culture, flow cytometry, histology and imaging, and analysis connected to single-cell or spatial genomic data. Team members are exposed to both experimental and computational approaches and can contribute to NIH-funded work focused on cancer biology and patient-derived models.
Funding details
NIH-funded research 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 required is 1 year of directly related education and experience in research specialization with advanced knowledge of equipment, procedures, and analysis methods. Preferred experience includes mammalian cell culture, primary cells or organoid culture, molecular and cellular biology methods such as RNA/DNA analysis, western blotting, qPCR, and immunofluorescence, cancer biology or tumor immunology, flow cytometry, microscopy, histology, quantitative image analysis, genomics or transcriptomics, single-cell or spatial data analysis, and quantitative biology. Strong candidates should be intellectually curious, careful in experimental design and data interpretation, able to work independently, collaborate effectively, and want to develop new experimental and analytical skills.
