SRA IV - GO Discovery lab: www.godiscoverylab.com

The research lab of Sanaz Memarzadeh, MD, PhD, focuses on
understanding the molecular basis of the formation, progression and treatment
of gynecologic epithelial cancers.The Gynecologic Oncology (GO)
Discovery Lab (godiscoverylab.com) investigates the molecular pathways in
chemotherapy-resistant ovarian and aggressive endometrial tumor cells that are
candidates for therapeutic intervention via small molecule inhibitors and/or
immunotherapy.Knowledge gained from this translational research
will then be used to design and test strategies for cancer therapeutics that
will move onto clinical trials.

We are seeking a full-time Staff Research Associate IV (SRA IV) to joinDr. Sanaz Memarzadeh'sGO Discovery Lab.Under the guidance of Dr.Memarzadeh, the SRA IV will independently plan and execute experiments using
cell lines, animal models, and a variety of diagnostic and functional assays to
investigate the molecular, cellular, and genetic mechanisms driving gynecologic
cancers.

Key responsibilities include:

• Performing basic and advanced molecular biology and
  cell culture techniques, including tissue culture, flow cytometry,
  immunohistochemistry, single-cell proteomics, and transcriptomics.
• Working on high-throughput drug screening to identify small
  molecule and immunotherapy treatment candidates.
• Collaborating with the PI on manuscript and grant
  proposal preparation, including method annotation, data interpretation, and
  contributing to the analytical, strategic, and technical aspects of planning
  and writing.
• Designing, planning, and conducting both in vitro and
  in vivo experiments.
• Making innovative contributions to ongoing research
  projects.

This role offers the opportunity to
work at the forefront of cancer research and contribute meaningfully to the
development of new therapeutic strategies.

Annual Salary Range: $78,233.10- $125,889.68

Required:

• 5 or more years of
  post-graduate wet lab research experience (some can be as part of advanced
  degree program), strongly preferred to be in a cancer/oncology environment.
• MS in biomedical/life
  science field or equivalent experience. (candidates with PhDs are preferred)
• Experience or knowledge
  in one or more of cancer, immunology and translational research
• Demonstrated experience
  in common and modern molecular, cellular and genomic techniques in laboratory
  environment including flow cytometry, IHC, proteomics, transcriptomics.
• Authorship of multiple
  peer-review scientific publications. At least one must be a first authorship.
• Ability and experience
  preparing data and contributing toward technical and analytical aspects of scientific
  writing for manuscripts and funding applications.
• PCR, fluorescent microscope, etc.
• Ability to communicate in oral and
  written form, for the purpose of providing concise information to others in the
  laboratory. This includes the ability to record experiments and results in
  laboratory journal in an accurate, complete and timely way.
• Ability to design, plan, coordinate,
  and carry out experiments. This requires the ability to schedule and prioritize
  work, and to recognize when collection of one type of data may compromise the
  collection of another.
• Ability to recognize irregularities
  and invalid results. Ability to make sound measurements and observations.
• Ability to perform work carefully
  and precisely so that meaningful data is collected in a manner which can be
  reproduced in this and other laboratories.
• Ability to conduct multiple
  experiments in close temporal proximity.
• Ability to understand experimental
  design and goals of study.
• Ability to seek out and read
  scientific literature to solve all levels of research problems, to read and
  understand the current scientific literature and to use existing experimental
  protocols as guidelines
• Ability to handle sensitive &
  confidential information.
