I suggest you not to omit reference to the PhD on your resume.Though it is not require for your current job but still you can place it somewhere in your resume where it will get least noticed, But resume is what you have achieved no matter what your results are but the outcome still matters somehow.so include in your resume but you can omit it from your resume cover letter
