Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology, Department of Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences, School of Integrated Health Sciences [R0144460]
Las Vegas, NVThe University of Nevada, Las Vegas invites applications for a
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology, Department of Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences, School of Integrated Health Sciences [R0144460] .ROLE of the POSITIONA full-time, 100% grant-funded Postdoctoral Scholar position is available within a research team in the Department of Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. We are looking for a highly motivated and innovative individual to research the effects of low-dose radiation on 3D acini mammary cultures. The research aims to generate crucial single-cell sequencing data to use in modeling the potential risk for mammary cancer.The primary role of this position will involve tissue culture expertise, whereby human 3D acini mammary tissue cultures will be exposed to very low dose radiation, and isolation of single cells from cultures for sequencing using the 10X genomics single cell sequencing platform. It will require understanding the 10X genomics single cell sequencing software and analyzing data output. The successful candidate will also interface with computer modeling and AI investigators on this project and provide support where possible. Additionally, the Postdoctoral candidate will be encouraged to independently come up with research ideas that align with the objectives of the grant, compose scientific manuscripts, present their research at scientific conferences, and grow into a productive member of the scientific community. This position is contingent upon funding.MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONSThis position requires a
PhD
