The mission of The University of Texas M. D. 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.
The primary purpose of the Research Assistant II position is to carry out various laboratory research projects in the laboratory of Dr. Mazur, focused on the development of novel cancer therapies using next-generation animal models of lung, pancreatic and stomach cancer (see our recent research publications: Cell, 2019, Cancer Cell 2020, Nature 2021, Cancer Discovery 2022, Nature Biomed Eng, 2023 and mdanderson.org/MazurLab). Technical experience with handling animals (mice), including genotyping, performing injections, and euthanasia, is strongly preferred.
