We currently have a vacancies for an enthusiastic, ambitious and creative Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the following area:

The role of tumour microenvironment in cancer development
Dr Sara Zanivan

We are a vibrant team which aims at unravelling the role of the tumour microenvironment in cancer development. Our research is focused on the role of endothelial cells and cancer-associated fbroblasts, and the interaction between these cells and tumour cells. We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative and ambitious postdoctoral researcher and we offer a unique opportunity to combine cell/molecular biology approaches and in vivo tumour models with quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics to develop a new level of understanding on the tumour microenvironment.

You will have a PhD in a feld relevant to cancer biology, an excellent publication record and a demonstrable capability for independent thinking. While experience with mass spectrometry is not required, candidates should have a strong interest in mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Experience with in vivo models is desirable.
