Research Associate I

Research Associate IJoin the forefront of groundbreaking research at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research. A Research Associate I is available in the lab of Dr. Russell Rockne. Dr. Rockne's research focuses on patient-specific mathematical models of cancer growth and response to therapy. His research lies at the interface of mathematics, imaging, histopathology and genomics, combining information to mathematically model treatment of individual cancer patients, and how their tumors evolve when confronted with specific treatment regimens. Dr. Rockne's personal research goal is to explore the novel hypothesis that mathematical models can quantify and predict individual patient disease dynamics and recurrence resulting from therapy in vivo. As a successful candidate you will:Conduct and oversee laboratory experiments related to neural stem cell treatments.Perform data analysis using statistical and computational methods.Develop and implement mathematical models to understand and predict treatment outcomes.Collaborate with team members to design and optimize experimental protocols.Prepare and present research findings at internal meetings and scientific conferences.Contribute to the writing of research papers and grant proposals.Maintain accurate and detailed records of experiments and analyses.Your qualifications should include:Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience or Mathematics with 0-2 years of research/laboratory experienceStrong background in experimental techniques and data analysis.Proficiency in mathematical modeling and computational methods.Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.Ability to work independently and as part of a team.Strong written and verbal communication skills.Experience with neural stem cell research is a plus.City of Hope employees pay is based on the following criteria: work experience, qualifications, and work location.
