Join a cutting-edge research laboratory at UCLA focused on understanding the molecular basis of epithelial cancer formation, progression, and treatment, with the ultimate goal of informing the design and testing of strategies for cancer treatment towards clinical trials.
As a Staff Research Associate I, you will work under the guidance of the Principal Investigator and your responsibilities include collaborating with UCLA staff at various clinics to consent study participants, collect tissue and tumor specimens, and ensure accurate documentation in accordance with approved research protocols. In the laboratory, you will process human specimens for downstream genomic analysis to help elucidate the molecular, cellular, and genetic events involved in gynecologic disease progression. You’ll also assist with general lab operations and provide administrative and grant-related support as needed.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is motivated, detail-oriented, and eager to gain hands-on research experience in a collaborative academic environment focused on advancing cancer research.
Required:
- Skill in routine molecular and cellular biology techniques with and without laboratory equipment.
- Writing skills and ability sufficient to fully and accurately document all lab work in a notebook according to lab standards.
- Ability to analyze research data and prepare clear, concise and accurate technical reports.
- Interpersonal skill to interact and collaborate effectively with scientist coworkers, graduate students and faculty.
