What is Research Technology?

Research Technology refers to the specialized tools, systems, and support services that enable and enhance scientific, academic, or industrial research. This field includes the management of data, software, hardware, and digital infrastructure to support research activities. Professionals in Research Technology help design, implement, and maintain technology solutions that facilitate collaboration, data analysis, and the sharing of findings. Their work is critical in ensuring that researchers have reliable and efficient access to the technological resources necessary for innovation and discovery.

What is the difference between Research Technology vs Research Scientist?

Common Search & ComparisonYesYes

Research Technology professionals focus on developing and maintaining research tools, software, and technical infrastructure, while Research Scientists conduct experiments and analyze data to generate scientific knowledge. Both roles often collaborate but differ mainly in their focus—technical support versus scientific discovery.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in Research Technology, and why are they important?

To thrive in Research Technology, you need a solid background in scientific research methods, data analysis, and information technology, often supported by relevant degrees such as computer science or engineering. Familiarity with programming languages (like Python or R), database management systems, and research software tools is typically required, along with certifications in data science or IT. Strong problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and adaptability help you collaborate effectively and innovate in dynamic research environments. These competencies are crucial for advancing research objectives, ensuring data integrity, and enabling efficient technology-driven discoveries.

How does a Research Technology professional typically collaborate with researchers and IT teams?

Research Technology professionals play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between scientific researchers and IT departments. They work closely with researchers to understand their technical needs, such as data analysis, computational modeling, or specialized software, and then collaborate with IT teams to implement secure, scalable solutions. This often involves ongoing meetings, project management, and troubleshooting to ensure research projects run smoothly. Effective communication and adaptability are key, as priorities and technologies can shift quickly in research environments.

Job description

A Research Technician 2 is being sought to join the laboratory of Dr. Ryoma "Puck" Ohi in the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Molecular Medicine at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, with lab space located on the 2nd floor of Cancer Research Facility (CRF). Studies in the Ohi laboratory focus on the microtubule cytoskeleton with an emphasis on tubulin post-translational modifications (PTMs) and tubulin PTM "readers". The laboratory uses a wide range of techniques, which includes biochemistry, cell culture, and quantitative optical microscopy. The successful applicant will be expected to carry out administrative and organizational tasks, which include ordering and upkeep of standard laboratory reagents. The role will also include molecular cloning, cell culture, and protein isolation from either prokaryotic or eukaryotic sources. Proficiency in the following techniques will be considered assets: PCR, DNA cloning, immunoblotting, protein purification, microbiology, microscopy and cell culture. The successful candidate will also show initiative in the steering of projects and project development. An ability to mentor junior trainees in the laboratory would also be considered a major strength.

Applicants should hold a university degree in the biological sciences, although other backgrounds will be considered. The candidate should be highly motivated and able to work independently. Additionally, good organizational skills and an ability to interact productively with others are requisites.

The University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center is the Official Cancer Center of New Mexico and the only National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center in a 500-mile radius. Its 136 board-certified oncology specialty physicians include cancer surgeons in every specialty (abdominal, thoracic, bone and soft tissue, neurosurgery, genitourinary, gynecology, and head and neck cancers), adult and pediatric hematologists/medical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists, and radiation oncologists. They, along with more than 600 other cancer healthcare professionals (nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, navigators, psychologists and social workers), provide treatment to 65% of New Mexico's cancer patients from all across the state. And they partner with community health systems statewide to provide cancer care closer to home. In 2024 they treated more than 15,000 patients in almost 105,000 ambulatory clinic visits in addition to in-patient hospitalizations at UNM Hospital. A total of 2,075 patients participated in cancer clinical trials to study new cancer treatments that include tests of novel cancer prevention strategies and cancer genome sequencing. The more than 123 cancer research scientists affiliated with the UNM Cancer Center were awarded 38.3 million in federal and private grants and contracts for cancer research projects. Since 2015, the physicians, scientists and staff have provided education and training experiences to more than 750 high school, undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral fellowship students in cancer research and cancer health care delivery.
