POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW- Developmental Biology

A wet-lab postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Northcott Lab (Department of Developmental Neurobiology) to join a highly collaborative team studying the developmental and molecular basis of the childhood brain tumor medulloblastoma.

The Northcott Lab has established an internationally renowned track record in pediatric neuro-oncology, substantiated by numerous impactful publications in Nature , Cancer Cell , Nature Cancer, Lancet Oncology , and Journal of Clinical Oncology . Leveraging our exquisite access to patient material linked to large clinical trial cohorts, we are applying a combination of innovative, multi-omic approaches to discover new biological, mechanistic, and clinical insights responsible for medulloblastoma initiation, progression, and relapse. Research Focus & Responsibilities

Conduct innovative wet-lab research using patient-derived samples

Perform molecular and cellular biology experiments related to tumor biology

Collaborate with computational and clinical teams to interpret data and drive discovery

PhD in cancer biology, molecular/cellular biology, biochemistry, immuno-oncology, or a related field

Strong experimental background in cancer biology and molecular techniques

Basic experience in computational biology or familiarity with bioinformatics tools (e.g., data analysis pipelines, R/Python, or multi-omic data interpretation) is advantageous but not required
