Job Description
Ponce Health Sciences Uni versity (PHSU), located in Southern Puerto Rico, specializes in studying health care disparities in Hispanic/Latinas. To reduce these disparities PHSU currently holds three U54 institutional grants, including the U54 cancer Partnership between Moffitt Cancer Center and PHSU, RCMI, and the Hispanic Alliance (in collaboration with UPR-Ciencias Médicas and Universidad Central del Caribe). These U54 mechanisms will provide the applicant with frequent seminars and training opportunities.
The position is for a newly-funded R01 awarded to Dr. Harold I. Saavedra, Ph.D., a leader in E2F-driven transcriptional regulation leading to centrosome amplification, mitotic dysfunction chromosome instability, and cancer. This will be in close collaboration with Moffitt Cancer Center to study the role of centrosome-associated mitotic kinases in driving poor prognosis in African American and Hispanic/Latino cancer patients. The applicant must possess a Ph.D. in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or biomedical sciences. The applicant must be familiar with mouse models to study cancer and be willing to handle mice and perform animal surgeries. The applicant must be familiar with molecular techniques such as quantitative real-time PCR, western blots, imunoprecipitations, and immuno-histochemistry. Also, the applicant must know how to perform cell culture. The applicant must be proficient in writing and speaking English. The salary is based on NIH standards, and full benefits (e.g. health insurance, paid vacations) are provided.
