Postdoctoral Researcher – Molecularly-Targeted Radiation Therapy for Cancer (Contract until 31-10-2024)
Applications for this vacancy closed on 12 April 2024 at 12:00PM
**About the role**
We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic
Postdoctoral Researcher to contribute to research led by Professor Katherine
Vallis. The central objective of this project is to develop anticancer
molecularly targeted radiotherapy agents (theranostics) for the imaging and
treatment of cancer. The focus of the project will be on specific organelle
targeting with an emphasis on the nucleolus which is the major site of
ribosome synthesis and is also implicated in the DNA damage and other stress
responses.
The post will be based at the Old Road Campus Research Building, Roosevelt
Drive, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7DQ, and is offered on a full-time basis,
fixed-term until 31st October 2024.
**About you**
You will manage your own academic research to drive all aspects of the project
forward, including cancer biology and radiobiology aspects. This involves
project management to co-ordinate your research to meet deadlines as well as
test hypotheses and analyse data from a variety of sources, reviewing and
refining working hypotheses as appropriate.
You will hold (or be close to completion of) a relevant PhD/DPhil (i.e. cell
or molecular biology, radiation medicine science, imaging etc) together with
relevant experience. You will have strong cell/molecular biology laboratory
research skills and possess sufficient specialist knowledge of cancer biology
and radiation medicine sciences to be able work collaboratively with other
scientists in related research programmes.
A good publication record at the level of first author publication in peer-
reviewed journal(s) is an essential requirement. Experience of in vivo
research and of the use of external radiation sources and/or radioisotopes
would be advantageous.
**Application process**
If you would like to discuss this role please contact Professor Katherine
Vallis at katherine.vallis@oncology.ox.ac.uk. You will be required to upload a
supporting statement (setting out how you meet the selection criteria), a
curriculum vitae and the names and contact details of two referees as part of
your online application. The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on
12th April 2024.
