activation of specific transcription factors, altered chromatin accessibility and epigenetic changes to drive metastatic colonization. Research Highlights and Responsibilities Employ single cell multiomics, spatial transcriptomics to identify metastasis initiating cells and their interactions with the tumor microenvironment (TME). Conduct functional studies using 3D culture models and organoids. Identify the underlying mechanisms using cell biology and molecular biology techniques. Test in preclinical animal models, including PDX using humanized mice, syngeneic mouse models and xenografts. Work with PI to develop hypothesis and design experiments to test the hypothesis. Conduct experiments, analyze data, report findings, manuscript preparation, and present at conferences. Qualifications Ph.D. in Biological Sciences, Health Sciences or related fields. Strong background in cancer, cell, and molecular biology. Experience in tumor microenvironment, transcriptional regulation or epigenetics is desirable. Collaborative, good communication skills, and ability to works in a team. Highly motivated individual with strong intellectual curiosity. Why UNM Cancer Center? Collaborative, multidisciplinary environment Access to state-of-the-art core facilities Opportunities for high-impact publications and career development Live in Albuquerque, NM—a vibrant city with rich culture and affordable living Salary and benefits are competitive and commensurate with research experience and based on the NIH guidelines for Postdoctoral Trainees and Fellows, https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-25-105.html Application To express your interest, email your updated CV, your cover letter outlining your research interests, and contact information of at least (3) references to Dr. Anirban Mitra at AMitra@salud.unm.edu .
