Post-doctoral position in biochemical pharmacology

The Cancer Drug Research Laboratory is located at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center in Montreal. It trains students and post-doctoral fellows on novel strategies to improve the potency of anti-cancer drugs against refractory tumours.

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral fellowship in biochemical pharmacology in the Cancer Drug Research Laboratory, The Research Institute of McGill University. The successful candidate will be involved in the characterization of cell signaling cascades in response to anti-cancer drug treatment using western blot analysis and other biochemical assays. Knowledge of immunology, DNA sequencing (WES, RNAseq) and experience with animal models is an asset.

According to McGill University Post-Graduate policies, eligible post-doctoral candidates must be within 5 years after their Ph.D. degree. 

Preference will be given to candidates with a PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry or pharmacology.

Within a year, the successful candidate will have produced publishable data on the mechanism of action of new anti-cancer drugs
