Join the Omar Lab

Our lab welcomes applicants from ALL backgrounds!

We are always in the market for motivated and talented people. Even if we do not have an open position currently advertised, we are still interested in engaging with you in a conversation about your scientific background and goals for your future career (in academia, industry, or other ventures). We strive to provide excellent training across a wide range of computational and experimental techniques. If interested please send your CV/Resume to Dr. Mohamed Omar.

Currently we have open positions for people with the following skills:

• Postdoctoral Scientist: We are seeking a postdoctoral scientist to work on a very exciting project leveraging spatially-resolved multiomics to investigate spatial and molecular interactions in the tumor microenvironment of prostate cancer as well as distant metastasis sites. Candidates with expertise in cancer molecular biology are highly encouraged to apply.
  

Graduate Students

The Omar Lab participates in the following Cedars-Sinai graduate programs:

• PhD program in Health Artificial Intelligence: The PhD in Health AI at Cedars-Sinai equips students with cutting-edge AI approaches, emphasizing the optimal use of clinical data to inform patient care. Through active learning, clinical rotations and collaboration with clinicians, the program ensures graduates are poised to navigate and contribute to the dynamic world of AI in medical research and patient well-being.

Postdoctoral Fellows

Inquiries about Postdoctoral positions should be emailed directly to Dr. Mohamed Omar. We set our minimum postdoctoral fellow compensation to the NRSA Stipend Levels and encourage candidates to explore applying for extramural fellowships to support their research.

Other Visitors

Interested foreign exchange students, interns, sabbatical visitors from academia and industry are encouraged to reach out directly to Dr. Mohamed Omar. We are open to other arrangements as well. As we expect people to be fairly compensated for their work by their home institution or by us, we do not have volunteer positions available.

We take undergraduate students exclusively through Cedars-Sinai affiliated programs, e.g. U-GROW. This program is a partnership with Cedars-Sinai and eight California State University (CSU) campuses across Southern California. The CSU system is the largest and one of the most diverse undergraduate programs in the United States—making it an ideal partner for fostering multicultural talent.
