Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Hereditary Cancers

Job Summary:

A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available immediately at the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute in the Childhood Cancer and Blood Research group (MAXWELL laboratory).

Candidates with the following experience or research interest are preferred: using animal models, primary cell culture, high content and live cell imaging technologies, using biochemical and molecular approaches to investigate cell division or tumor cell death or the immune environment.

Consequence of Error:

The successful applicant is expected to exercise a considerable amount of judgment, responsibility, and initiative in determining work procedures and methods. They must carefully observe and evaluate their work. All works are subjected to assessment by Dr. Maxwell.
