Post Doctoral Research Associates

The Department of Bioengineering in the College of Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate with experience in cancer research and strong analytical skills. The Lal Lab develops computational and systems biology approaches to understand treatment response, toxicity, and disease progression in cancer. Our research integrates multi-omic sequencing, network biology, and machine learning to identify actionable biomarkers and therapeutic vulnerabilities.

The successful candidate will work at the interface of computational genomics, AI-driven modeling, and translational oncology, analyzing large-scale multi-omic datasets from pediatric cancer cohorts. The position offers a unique opportunity to collaborate closely with clinicians and translational researchers at Cook Children’s Medical Center, applying computational approaches to real-world clinical questions in pediatric precision oncology and treatment-related toxicities.
