Location Tucson Campus
Address 1501 N. Campbell Ave, Tucson, AZ 85719 USA
Position Highlights
The Theodorescu Lab within the University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC) and Padi Labs within the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology are looking to hire a joint postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in computational biology and/or cancer bioinformatics. This project will be focused on integrating rich, multimodal ‘omics data from cell lines and animal models, with the goal of identifying mechanisms leading to transformation and cancer. To identify such cancer-driving effects, we combine genomics, proteomics, and spatial transcriptomics data generated in the Theodorescu Lab with techniques for network inference, epigenetic rewiring, and dynamic modeling developed in the Padi Lab. Examples of the type of work that will be undertaken can be seen by our papers by Chen (Nature. 2025 Jun;642(8069):1041-1050), Abdel-Hafiz (Nature. 2023 Jul;619(7970):624-631), Gouin (Nature Commun. 2021; 12;12(1)), Ben Guebila (Genome Biology. 2023; 24(1):45) and Yang (Journal of Clinical Investigation. 2025; 135(7)). Our final goal is to identify novel biomarkers and interventions for cancer that will improve patient outcomes.
This individual would join two vibrant groups that closely collaborate to bridge the gap between innovative cancer research and state-of-the-art computational modeling. The successful candidate will be a driven, creative, team-oriented individual with an aptitude for quantitative/informatic methods and a passion for helping to discover fundamental cancer biology mechanisms that have potential clinical impact and thus can be moved eventually towards a clinical setting. We employ a wide variety of computational and experimental approaches and seek individuals with a strong understanding of both bioinformatics and molecular biology. Experience gained in our laboratory will help the candidate to become competitive for permanent positions in either academia or industry. We welcome applications from both recent PhD or MD/PhD recipients and individuals seeking additional postdoctoral training.

Search Education Jobs in ArizonaEducation E-3 Sponsorship Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
Which education employers in Arizona sponsor E-3 visas?
Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, and Maricopa County Community College District are among the larger institutions with established international hiring processes. K-12 districts including Tucson Unified and Tempe Elementary School District have also sponsored foreign workers for specialty roles. Education technology companies headquartered in the Phoenix metro, such as those in the EdTech space, are an additional category worth researching, though sponsorship practices vary by organization.
Which cities in Arizona have the most education E-3 sponsorship jobs?
Phoenix and its surrounding metro cities, including Tempe, Scottsdale, and Chandler, account for the largest share of education E-3 visa roles given the concentration of universities, community colleges, and EdTech employers there. Tucson is the second-largest hub, anchored by the University of Arizona and surrounding school districts. Flagstaff also has a presence through Northern Arizona University, particularly for academic and research-oriented positions.
What types of education roles typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship in Arizona?
Roles that qualify as specialty occupations under the E-3 visa must require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. In education, this commonly includes university faculty and lecturers, instructional designers, curriculum developers, education researchers, and learning technology specialists. General classroom aide or paraprofessional positions typically do not qualify because they do not require a specific bachelor's degree as a standard entry requirement.
How do I find education E-3 sponsorship jobs in Arizona?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international job seekers holding E-3 and other work visas, with filters for visa type, industry, and state. Searching for education roles in Arizona on Migrate Mate surfaces employers that have a documented history of sponsoring E-3 workers, which saves significant time compared to applying broadly and asking about sponsorship later. Pairing that with direct outreach to university HR departments in Phoenix and Tucson is a practical approach.
Are there any Arizona-specific considerations for E-3 sponsorship in education?
Arizona does not impose state-level visa sponsorship requirements beyond federal E-3 obligations, but educators working in public K-12 schools should confirm whether an Arizona teaching certificate is required for the specific role, as certification is separate from visa eligibility. Public university positions may also involve additional institutional approval processes for international hires. The Labor Condition Application must reflect the actual worksite location, so roles split across multiple Arizona campuses require careful documentation.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 education jobs in Arizona?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
