Assistant Project Scientist - Izumiya Lab
Position Overview:
A reasonable estimate for this position is $74,100-$94,200.
The University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, Department of Dermatology, is recruiting for a full-time academic position in the Project Scientist series at the Assistant level based on experience and qualifications.
NATURE AND PURPOSE
The Project Scientist makes significant and creative contributions to a research or creative project in their academic discipline. The appointee possesses the subject matter expertise and the creative energy necessary to function at a high level of competence. The appointee will participate in activities to increase, improve, or upgrade competency. Appointees with Project (e.g., Scientist) titles may engage in University and public service. They do not have teaching responsibilities.
Although the Project Scientist is expected to work independently under the general guidance of an academic member with an independent research program (i.e., Professor, Professional Researcher, Specialist in Cooperative Extension, etc.), he/she is not required to develop an independent research program or reputation. He/she will carry out research or creative programs with supervision by an individual in an academic title that carries with it automatic Principal Investigator status. The Project Scientist does not usually serve as a Principal Investigator but may do so by exception.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Ph.D. in Medicine or in an equivalent Scientific Field of Study.
- Three years of molecular and biochemical studies in cancer biology.
- Experience in cancer virology as demonstrated by first or senior author publications.
- Expertise in cancer research and 'hands-on' experience in the areas of cancer genomics, next generation-sequencing analyses, and tissue cultures is preferred.
- Experience in the biology of oncogenic viruses such as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is preferred.
- Proficient with modern molecular and cellular biology technologies as well as small animal handling is also preferred.
- Record of developed skill sets in mentoring junior researchers, writing manuscripts and grants, and oral presentations.
- Ability to work cooperatively and collegially in a diverse environment.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES
I. RESEARCH (80%):
Research for this position focuses on tumorigenesis of oncogenic viruses. This position requires creative contributions to and collaborative development of active research programs that are aimed to understand the tumor microenvironment and the association with establishment of cellular and viral gene enhancers. The candidate will help to determine and define the unique and 'virus-specific' gene enhancer development and regulation by identifying cellular factors with genetic and proteomics technologies, in consultation with the Principal Investigator (PI), Dr. Yoshihiro Izumiya. The candidate will use global genomic, epigenetic, and proteomic analyses to decipher the molecular mechanisms of virus induced inflammatory microenvironment by induction of tumor associated macrophages. By using small animal models and nanotechnologies, the candidate will also examine the therapeutic potentials of targeting TAMs. Finally, in collaboration with clinicians, the candidate will collect patient samples to further examine the virus-induced tumor development with spatial transcriptomics analyses. He/she will design specific research strategies and plans, including the selection of appropriate methods and techniques. The candidate may advise students or technicians regarding the technical aspects of the research, including methods development, trouble-shooting problems, interpreting results, and planning follow-up experiments.
II. PUBLICATION AND GRANT ACQUISITION (10%)
He/she will publish research results in peer-reviewed journals, books, and other outlets either independently or in collaboration with the PI or other members of the research team, and assist in acquiring proposals for funding from federal and state agencies and other funding organizations. The candidate will prepare and assist in the preparation of reports as required by granting agencies. The candidate will interact with funding agencies and prepare modifications of budgets and other grant components as needed.
III. PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE AND ACTIVITY (10%):
The candidate will participate in professional societies and conferences appropriate to his/her specific field and will serve as a reviewer of research proposals and scientific publications as appropriate. The candidate will attend seminars to present research results and may give oral presentations to public and professional interest groups. When appropriate, the candidate may coordinate and/or give presentations at seminars, laboratory meetings or educational functions.
Applications should be received by 9/30/2024, for primary consideration; however, the position will be open until filled through 06/30/2025. The following information is required: Cover Letter, Curriculum Vitae, Statement of Research and Statement of Contributions to Diversity. Please provide contact information for at least 3 professional references.
Please visit http://academicaffairs.ucdavis.edu/diversity/equity_inclusion/index.html for information about why diversity statements are requested and guidelines for writing a diversity statement.

The position is located in Sacramento, California. The Department of Dermatology (http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/dermatology/) is a major clinical care, research, and teaching Department in the School of Medicine. Our faculty is engaged in multiple collaborations with other Schools and UC Davis campus departments, research centers, clinical centers, and primary care networks, and thus all positions require flexibility in local job locations in addition to the Department of Dermatology. This includes the Veteran's Administration, UCD Medical Center Campus, and other community centers.
