About this position

Texas A&M University Health Science Center is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the IBT Center for Translational Cancer Research in Houston, Texas, United States.

The role focuses on translational pharmacology, cancer therapeutics, and drug discovery, with an initial emphasis on the pharmacology of natural killer cell fortification in collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The postdoctoral researcher will work on mechanism-of-action studies, pharmacologic response, assay development, and translation of positive findings toward patient treatment.

Research activities may include biochemical, cell-based, immunologic, imaging, and/or computational assays; data analysis; manuscript writing; presentations; and support for technical progress reports and external funding proposals. The position also includes opportunities to mentor student researchers and participate in professional development, fellowship/grant preparation, and career-development activities.

Eligibility: an appropriate PhD in a related field is required. Preferred experience includes molecular biology, protein biochemistry, mammalian cell culture, cell-based assay development, fluorescence/imaging, flow cytometry, computational drug discovery, molecular modeling, structure-based design, and tools such as MOE, AlphaFold/Boltz, GraphPad Prism, Python, or R. Interest in cancer pharmacology, immuno-oncology, natural killer cell biology, translational therapeutics, blood-brain barrier models, or neurodegenerative disease research is also preferred.

Funding: salary is commensurate with education and experience. The post mentions employee benefits, professional-development support, and tuition assistance, but no fixed stipend amount is provided.

How to apply: submit the application through the Workday portal linked in the post. Applicants should provide all job application data or attach a complete resume. A cover letter and CV/resume are requested.
