About The Position

The Associate Researcher is an entry laboratory research position, responsible for conduct of routine and assisting in routine and standardized experiments using techniques specific to the assigned research project under the supervision of the Principal Investigator or a senior researcher. This individual typically conducts laboratory research and the position may include lab and clerical support. S/he analyzes and assists in interpreting research outcomes. The Eva González Díaz Lab is seeking highly motivated Associate Researchers to join our interdisciplinary research team focused on uncovering the complex interplay between bone tissues, the bone marrow microenvironment, and the immune system in health and disease. Our laboratory develops sophisticated 3D micro-tissue models that integrate both a mineralized bone compartment and bone marrow niche, allowing us to study complex cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions within a physiologically relevant environment. We are particularly interested in harnessing these tools towards (i) uncovering microenvironmental drivers of drug resistance and treatment failure in cancer, (ii) identifying key regulators of bone degeneration in aging (such as osteoporosis), and (iii) developing personalized, high-throughput screens for therapeutic discovery using patient samples. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to gain expertise in a broad range of areas including 3D bioprinting, multi-omics analysis, stem cell-based tissue engineering, advanced microscopy and animal models, and to collaborate with a world-class multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and clinicians. The González Díaz lab is committed to fostering an environment of support, excellence, and integrity in scientific research. The Principal Investigator will provide mentorship to support the professional development of each trainee, working closely with them to establish clear research, training, and career development objectives, and ensuring that they are well-positioned for success in their career trajectories.
