Research Scientist - Cancer Systems Imaging
The mission of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is to eliminate cancer in Texas, the nation, and the world through outstanding programs that integrate patient care, research and prevention, and through education for undergraduate and graduate students, trainees, professionals, employees and the public. Summary The Han Lab in the Department of Cancer Systems Imaging at MD Anderson Cancer Center is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Scientist to lead and support cutting-edge research projects focused on tumor-immune metabolic interplay, with an emphasis on organelle communication and the characterization of metabolite flux within the tumor microenvironment. The
Research Scientist
will function independently in the design, planning, execution, and oversight of designated research projects, as well as logistical coordination of project milestones and deliverables. In collaboration with the Principal Investigator, the candidate will help define specific goals, evaluate ongoing research progress, and develop or refine experimental approaches on in vivo and in vitro settings. Ideal Candidate:
will have a PhD and demonstrate expertise in animal handling, confocal and live-cell imaging, and pharmacokinetics/biodistribution analysis. Prior experience in metabolism-focused research and a strong interest in mitochondrial organelle communication are highly desirable. JOB SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES
Research Planning and Experimental Design: Work with the Principal Investigator and her team to design and execute experiments investigating tumor metabolism and mitochondrial-organelle communication using both in vitro and in vivo cancer models. Lead the development, validation, and application of multi-modality imaging techniques, including PET/CT, confocal microscopy, and 3D volume electron microscopy, to explore metabolic crosstalk between tumors and the microenvironment. Perform and supervise biochemical assays related to mitochondrial function and lipid metabolism and conduct subcellular and organelle-level characterization of tumor and immune cells. EDUCATION
Required: Master's Degree Natural sciences or related field. Preferred: PhD Natural sciences or Medical Degree Work Experience
Required: 4 years Experimental or scientific work. or Required: 2 years Experimental or scientific work with medical degree. or Required: No experience required with PhD. The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center offers excellent benefits, including medical, dental, paid time off, retirement, tuition benefits, educational opportunities, and individual and team recognition. It is the policy of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to provide equal employment opportunity without regard to race, color, religion, age, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, disability, protected veteran status, genetic information, or any other basis protected by institutional policy or by federal, state, or local laws unless such distinction is required by law.
