Description

The Ahmanson Translational Theranostics Division (ATTD) is a Division of the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology (DMMP). The Division includes the Nuclear Medicine clinic, the Biomedical Cyclotron, as well as basic and translational research groups and labs. Fueled by the adoption of Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) and stimulated by major new therapeutic opportunities in prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors, the ATTD has expanded significantly. Novel therapeutic approaches, together with advanced molecular imaging assays, have given rise to the field of Theranostics, the combination of tumor-specific targeted radionuclide imaging and therapy. The Division is looking to hire a motivated Staff Research Associate to help enter and clean data into study databases, maintain data quality, assist with data analysis, assist with preparation of reports and tables, complete study forms to submit to sponsors and / or appropriate agencies, attend team meetings, and perform other duties as assigned.
