Postdoctoral position in cancer biology
at the Cancer Research Centre of Marseille, France
INSERM/CNRS/Aix-Marseille University
A postdoctoral position in cancer biology is available starting in July 2025 in Borg/Maina group at the CRCM. The initial appointment will be made for 6 months, with potential to be extended, subject to satisfactory performance and funding.

We are seeking a highly motivated candidate, who will support a multidisciplinary project on gene cooperativity in liver cancer and strategies to target cancer vulnerabilities with onco- immuno- therapies. The main tasks will be:
• Generation of liver cancer mouse models using the hydrodynamic tail vein injection, their histological and molecular characterisation.
• Cell culture, preparation of tumoroids, generation and manipulation of CAR-T cells, and their characterisation.
• Molecular studies using single-nuclei RNAseq, proteomics, biochemistry.
The candidates should:
• Hold a PhD degree in biology or related subjects;
• Have experience on liver cancer, liver cancer mouse models, mouse colony handing, molecular mechanisms, FAC analysis, and CAR-T cells;
• Have a very good experience in cell culture of mammalian cell lines, histological and immunostaining techniques;
• Be familiar with molecular biology techniques and bioinformatics;
• Be able to design and carry out a variety of experiments, as well as to analyse and synthetize the raw experimental results, with a good level of independency;
• Be fluent in English, as it is the working language;
• Possess a very good organisational and communication capability

Within our team and in collaboration with CRCM platforms, the recruited postdoc will be able to acquire skills in sophisticated liver cancer mouse models, conventional and advanced microscopy, image analysis, tumoroids, CAR-T cells.

A letter of motivation, a CV and the names of two referees should be sent to:
