Bose Lab – Specialist

The lab of Rohit Bose, MD, PhD at UCSF ((Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).) is searching for exceptionally motivated and enthusiastic research specialists. A practicing physician‑scientist runs the lab, focusing on understanding how tumors evolve in different therapeutic environments. The lab uses clinically relevant immunocompetent cancer models to develop & test novel therapeutic strategies. Although primarily a lab‑focused position, the candidate will also interface with clinical teams regarding patient data & samples.

The specialist will be an integral member of the research team. Thus, the position will require a degree of independence but is still under general supervision. This type of experience is a superb preparation for graduate or medical school. This is a full‑time in‑person position with no remote component. It is a balancing act and requires an organized person with a talent for multitasking, as there are three components:

• The primary responsibility is to ensure the smooth day‑to‑day running and operation of the lab.
• The secondary responsibility is to collaborate with other members on research projects.
• Exceptional candidates will lead their independent project(s), develop new ideas, be familiar with the literature, and participate in procuring funds, where appropriate.

• Junior Specialist – Baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) or at least four years of research experience.
• Assistant Specialist – Master’s degree or a baccalaureate degree with three or more years of research experience.
• Associate Specialist – Master’s degree (or equivalent) or five to ten years of relevant research experience.
• Full Specialist – terminal degree (or equivalent) or ten or more years of relevant research experience.
