 Assistant/Associate Project Scientist- Dr. Izumiya Lab 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 or Associate 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.), they are not required to develop an independent research program or reputation. They 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: 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 biology of tumor stroma in the context of oncogenic viral infection and explore the potential of targeting tumor stroma cells including Tumor associated macrophages with genetic approaches. The candidate will help to determine and define the unique and virus-specific tumor stroma cell types for their contribution to virus-induced tumor initiation, angiogenesis, anti-tumor immune suppression, and tumor progression, in consultation with the Principal Investigator (PI), Dr. Yoshihiro Izumiya. The candidate will use global genomic, epigenetic, and proteomic analyses to profile virus induced tumor microenvironment and identify unique molecular signature. By using small animal models and nanotechnologies, the candidate will also examine the therapeutic potentials of targeting specific cellular molecules identified. In addition, the candidate will determine contributions of tumor microenvironment on viral replication, particularly reactivation of latent viruses associated with bacterial infection or other types of conditions such as diabetes and chronic inflammation, to the generation of TAMs and MDSCs and tumor progression. The candidate 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%) They 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 their 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 01/26/2021, for primary consideration; however, the position will be open until filled through 06/30/2021.
