We’ve come a long way from our humble beginnings 40+ years ago. However, for 4 decades, our vision has been the same — to save the lives of all children with cancer and improve their long-term health through research. It’s not if. It’s when.
To accomplish our vision, we’re seeking someone who lives our values: owning and delivering meaningful work, collaborating to drive impact, challenging the status quo to create a better future, and balancing logic with empathy. Let’s achieve more, together.
The Sarcoma Biology and Therapeutics (SBT) group at Children’s Cancer Institute is Australia’s first and only research laboratory solely focussed on sarcomas affecting the young. Our mission: finding better and kinder treatments for these young patients and make new drugs a treatment reality.
We have an exciting opportunity to join and contribute to this important research. Under the direction of and working closely with the SBT Team Leader, you will drive new research to help accelerate the discovery and clinical translation of targeted therapeutics for young sarcoma patients. This includes, but is not limited to, studying (phospho)protein signal transduction pathways, identifying new drug strategies, and trialling these in relevant models in vitro (cell lines) and in vivo (patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models; with support of other team members). The position also involves assisting in the management of other projects in the team, contributes to grant and report writing, preparation of publications, and training and co-supervision of junior researchers. Opportunities to present research findings at conferences and workshops will be provided.
