Staff Research Associate III - Cancer Therapeutics Research
National Medical Association, Los Angeles, California, United States, 90079
Description
The 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 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.
Dr. Memarzadeh and the GO Discovery Lab (godiscoverylab.com) are seeking a full-time Staff Research Associate III to join their team. As a member of our cutting-edge gynecologic oncology research laboratory (G.O. Discovery Lab), you'll work under the mentorship of Dr. Sanaz Memarzadeh to focus on determining the molecular basis of epithelial cancer formation, progression and treatment. More specifically, the SRA III will work with cell lines, animal models, viruses, DNA, RNA, proteins, and other diagnostic and functional assays towards understanding the molecular, cellular, and genetic events involved in the formation and progression of gynecologic diseases. The candidate will design, optimize, and perform procedures and protocols that cross and connect scientific disciplines at the fully operational level. The SRA III will be expected to consult with Dr. Memarzadeh and scientific literature to find and bring new ideas to the lab. The candidate will also take on a portion of the lab management duties, including supply management, ordering and equipment upkeep, and coordinate general lab support activities. Additionally, the candidate will help obtain and process human samples from operating rooms at UCLA.Salary range: $66,431.27 - $106,830.32 annuallyQualifications
Required:Knowledge of laboratory equipment and safetyKnowledge of cell biology and previous experience working with human cells, preferably primary patient samplesKnowledge in molecular biology and laboratory experimentsKnowledge of UCLA Policies and proceduresKnowledge of specimens and tissue collectionKnowledge of consent formExcellent skill in verbal and written communication. Proper utilization of English in the written word and conversation.Skill in tact and diplomacySkill in working with disparate facultyKnowledge of contract and grant application processSkill in organizing and coordinating meetingsAdvanced skill and knowledge of computer applications including those for imaging, data analysis and manuscript figures (ImageJ, FloJo, Prism, Biorender, etc.)Ability to be self-motivated, minimal supervision, handle multi-tasks and prioritize workloadAbility to handle sensitive & confidential informationAbility to operate various office equipment, Ability to setup and maintain filing system and office suppliesAbility to read and understand scientific publications, judge them based on scientific merit, technical innovation and relevance to lab projectsBachelor’s of Science in a life/biomedical science discipline, or equivalent experience.3 or more years of lab research experience, could be as part of academic programPreferred:Knowledge of UCLA Policies and procedures
