Job for Graduating Seniors

My name is Alexander Kim and I am a research technician in Dr. Eugene Chang’s lab at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. 

We currently have an opening for a Research Technician position in Dr. Chang’s NASAL lab within the Department of Otolaryngology. 

We were wondering if any one may be interested in working in a lab, prior to applying to graduate/professional school? 

We are looking for a senior, graduating in May 2019, no prior lab experience is not required, and all majors will be considered. 

This position is a full-time position (FTE 1) with benefits (including tuition waiver and insurance). 

Any interested candidates may apply on UAcareers (https://uacareers.com/) using the positing ID: S26647.

Alexander Kim alexanderkim@oto.arizona.edu Research Technician University of Arizona College of Medicine Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Medical Research Building 430E 520-626-1216 The Nasal Airway and Sinus Asthma Lung (NASAL) laboratory in Tucson, Arizona is offering a Research Technician position in the Department of Otolaryngology (PI: Dr. Eugene Chang) at the University of Arizona. The NASAL laboratory is a part of the University of Arizona, the leading public research university in the American Southwest and an ideal transdisciplinary research community. The Department of Otolaryngology is ranked in the top 25 of all residencies in the country. The working language is English. State-of-the-art infrastructure and service units allow research from the bedside (identifying phenotypic alterations) to bench (applying epidemiology, molecular and cellular biology, immunology, genetics and genomics to mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, prevention and therapy) and back to the bedside (clinical research related to prevention and therapy). Research in the Chang laboratory is focused on understanding the pathophysiology of upper airway disease. Chronic sinusitis is one of the most common medical conditions affecting 14% of the general population, and our current therapies are ineffective in targeting the primary mechanism of disease. Our work is divided into three areas: Genetics and molecular cell biology – the use of in vivo and in vitro air-liquid-interface models to determine the pathophysiology of airway disease; Immunology – determining immune defects in CRS utilizing modern bacterial and viral microbiome techniques; and Imaging – Incorporating 3-d sinus CT modeling as measures of disease and treatment outcomes. We are using laboratory and clinical research techniques to understand the basis of CRS. We are looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated, science-driven and experienced scientist to join our team to unravel the mechanisms that contribute to upper airway disease, and eventually provide targeted therapies to address the primary molecular defect. The Research Technician will be involved in either laboratory or clinical trials research, depending on experience and current need.
