Position Highlights

The University of Arizona College of Medicine’s (Tucson) Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine invites applications for a postdoctoral tissue-based investigator to join our outstanding biomedical research team. Our department is a research-intensive department at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson, with strengths in molecular pathology, tumor biology, digital pathology, HIV-related tumors, biobanking, translational diagnostics, and neurodegenerative disease neuropathology, including an established brain bank and tissue-resource infrastructure. A partnership with Banner – University Medical Center Tucson and access to the UA Cancer Center's shared resources in genomics, tissue acquisition, biostatistics, molecular imaging, and digital pathology provide additional research opportunities.

This integrative research role is designed to bridge oral & head and neck pathology, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer pathology, as well as biobanking of primary samples. The successful candidate will conduct translational research focused on tissue-based molecular biomarkers, disease progression, and cross-disease applications that integrate oral pathology with neurodegenerative disease and cancer research.

The successful candidate will be embedded within an established molecular, neuropathology, and cancer research group and will benefit from immediate access to mentored grant development, tissue and biospecimen resources, and existing collaborative infrastructure spanning both oral and neurodegenerative disease tissue banking.
