Our goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms that drive cell-cell communication in aggressive childhood cancers, with a specific focus on the role of the UNC5 interaction network in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma (NB) and other pediatric tumours. We will employ a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing cell-based assays, profiling experiments (eg. high resolution mass spectrometry proteomics), and structure-based tools to target specific protein complexes in vitro and in vivo. This is a collaborative ERC Synergy project with other labs from the University of Oxford and Lyon.

The candidate will join Daniel del Toro's lab, which comprises three PhD students and is supported by one technician, along with rotating students. The lab is located in the Biomedicine Department at the Faculty of Medicine (Campus Clinic) of the University of Barcelona.

Gross salary per year:

40,500 EUR

In cases where the candidate demonstrates proven expertise in advanced techniques relevant to the project, such as brain surgeries during development (including cell implantation and in utero electroporation), cell migration studies using time-lapse imaging in brain slices and modeling, whole-tissue clearing, and advanced 3D analysis, the following gross salary levels may be considered:

· 46,000 EUR (4 years of experience in relevant techniques for the project).
· 48,000 EUR (5 years of of experience in relevant techniques for the project).
· 53,000 EUR (more than 5 years of of experience in relevant techniques for the project).

The application period is from 1 to 21 October 2025.
