Greater Adelaide SA, Australia The University of Adelaide Full time

**(Level B) $111,031 to $131,335 per annum plus an employer contribution of 17% superannuation applies.**

**Fixed term, full time position available for 24 months.**

An opportunity exists for a talented postdoctoral researcher to join the T Cell Immunotherapy Lab (PI Dr Mara Zeissig) to work on novel immunotherapies for the treatment of solid cancers.

The Lab’s research is focused on understanding how cancers evade the immune system to identify new ways to enhance response to immunotherapy. In particular, we work on cancers that are addicted to the oncogene KRAS such as lung, colorectal and pancreatic cancers. We utilise a range of tools including genetically engineered preclinical models of cancer, analysis of immune cell subsets, single-cell profiling and molecular biology techniques. We also harness large-scale genetic screening using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to find previously unknown targets and mechanisms that regulate response to immunotherapy.

**About the project**:
**To be successful you will need**:

- A PhD in the relevant discipline area (cancer biology, immunology)
- Research experience that has resulted in publications, conference papers or reports
- Significant experience working with animal models of cancer
- Experience with mammalian cell tissue culture, flow cytometry, and techniques such as qPCR, western blotting, immunohistochemistry.
- Ability to contribute to a diverse and collaborative team environment and manage time effectively

**Enjoy an outstanding career environment**
