Position description

The G.O. Discovery Laboratory at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar. The laboratory is affiliated with the UCLA Eli and Edythe Broad Cell Research Center, Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Molecular Biology Institute. This appointment will be under the supervision of Professor Sanaz Memarzadeh, M.D., Ph.D., in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine.

Applications are being sought from recent Ph.D., M.D., or M.D./Ph.D. graduates with a strong background in molecular and cell biology. Candidates are expected to have experience with microscopy, immunohistochemistry, FACS analysis, virology, and immunology. Experience with small animal surgical procedures are strongly preferred. The ideal candidate should be highly motivated and have publications in peerreviewed journals with at least two being the first author.

The candidate will be joining a scholarly research team focused on pathways that can initiate uterine epithelial cancers and sarcomas, and therapies that can more effectively target these tumors. The goal is to develop strategies that can target these cancers that can be translated from the laboratory to the clinic. The candidate will participate in funded translational research programs to study stromal and epithelial interactions in gynecologic cancers, the role of stem progenitor cells, and approaches to model the disease in vivo.

Salary will be determined based on qualifications and experience.

The posted UC salary scales (https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/compensation/index.html ) set the minimum pay determined by rank and step at appointment. See Table 23: Postdoctoral Scholar-Employee, Postdoctoral Scholar-Fellow, Postdoctoral Scholar-Paid Direct, Fiscal Year.
