ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

The Cancer and Stem Cell Laboratory is dedicated to understanding how normal stem cells transform into cancer stem cells and to developing targeted therapies that eliminate these treatment-resistant cells. Cancer stem cells are increasingly recognised as key drivers of tumour growth, relapse, and resistance to conventional therapies.
We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our dynamic team and contribute to pioneering research in cancer and stem cell biology. In this role, you will design and conduct experiments aimed at developing next-generation cancer therapies, including gene- and cell-based immunotherapies. You will work with state-of-the-art technologies such as single-cell multiomics , stem cell models , and nanotechnology , within a collaborative and innovative research environment. It is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of translational cancer research.

• design, conduct, and analyze experiments independently and collaboratively
• produce high-quality research outputs and contribute to high-impact publications
• present research findings at internal meetings, national and international conferences
• supervise and mentor junior researchers and students on a day-to-day basis
• assist in planning and coordinating research activities within the lab
• ensure compliance with institutional and regulatory guidelines (e.g., OGTR, ethics)
• apply and manage human and animal ethics approvals/modifications, and GMO approvals.
