The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMM) is an international leader in medical and scientific training, biomedical research, and patient care. It is the medical school for the Mount Sinai Health System, which includes seven hospital campuses, and has more than 5,000 faculty and nearly 2,000 students, residents and fellows.

The Associate Researcher is an entry laboratory research position, responsible for conduct of routine and assisting in routine and standardized experiments using techniques specific to the assigned research project under the supervision of the Principal Investigator or a senior researcher. This individual typically conducts laboratory research and the position may include lab and clerical support.  S/he analyzes and assists in interpreting research outcomes.

The Eva Gonzalez Diaz Lab is seeking highly motivated Associate Researchers to join our interdisciplinary research team focused on uncovering the complex interplay between bone tissues, the bone marrow microenvironment, and the immune system in health and disease. Our laboratory develops sophisticated 3D micro-tissue models that integrate both a mineralized bone compartment and bone marrow niche, allowing us to study complex cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions within a physiologically relevant environment. We are particularly interested in harnessing these tools towards (i) uncovering microenvironmental drivers of drug resistance and treatment failure in cancer, (ii) identifying key regulators of bone degeneration in aging (such as osteoporosis), and (iii) developing personalized, high-throughput screens for therapeutic discovery using patient samples. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to gain expertise in a broad range of areas including 3D bioprinting, multi-omics analysis, stem cell-based tissue engineering, advanced microscopy and animal models, and to collaborate with a world-class multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and clinicians. 

The Gonzalez Diaz lab is committed to fostering an environment of support, excellence, and integrity in scientific research. The Principal Investigator will provide mentorship to support the professional development of each trainee, working closely with them to establish clear research, training, and career development objectives, and ensuring that they are well-positioned for success in their career trajectories. 

Prior experience in biomaterials, tissue engineering, bone or bone marrow biology, stem cell research, or bioinformatics is desirable but not required. We particularly value candidates who demonstrate scientific rigor, intellectual curiosity, and creativity, who are eager to learn and contribute to our research aims. 

The Gonzalez Diaz Lab is a part of the Department of Immunology and Immunotherapy, the Precision Immunology Institute (PrIISM), and the Icahn Genomics Institute (IGI). We are located in the Mount Sinai West Campus on 787 Eleventh Ave. We are situated close to the new Discovery and Innovation Center, which houses state-of-the-art core facilities including a Stem Cell Engineering Core, the Center for Advanced Genomics Technology, Assay Development and Screening, the Center for Therapeutic Antibody Development, the Proteomics and Metabolomics Core, the Microscopy and Advanced Bioimaging Core, and a Flow Cytometry Core. Our laboratory also neighbors the Human Immune Monitoring Core, the New York Stem Cell Foundation, and the Center for Engineering and Precision Medicine. This unique research environment provides access to a high density of cutting-edge technologies that span a broad range of disciplines and offers exceptional opportunities for collaboration with leading experts in basic science and clinical research.
