Applications are invited for two highly motivated research fellows to join the Prostate Cancer Research and Radiation Biology team led by Dr's Melissa LaBonte-Wilson, Simon McDade and Prof Suneil Jain. The Research Fellows will play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying the potential therapeutic efficacies novel combinations targeting epigenetics (class-I HDAC inhibitors) and cell death inhibitors (IAP inhibitors) with radiation and androgen-signalling inhibitors (ASIs) in high-risk prostate cancers.
These positions involve the design, execution, and analysis of pre-clinical studies aimed at improving treatment outcomes through novel combination therapies.
The post-holders will focus on overcoming therapeutic resistance and enhancing the immune response within the immunosuppressive, macrophage-enriched microenvironment of metastatic prostate cancer. The studies will be coupled with combination of functional genomics analyses (e.g., ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq) of 2D, 3D and in vivo modelling and validation.
The two posts are funded for 7 and 18 months respectively for by Prostate Cancer UK and will be directly supervised by Dr Simon McDade and Dr Melissa LaBonte-Wilson within the Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research.

- Hold or be about to obtain (submitted) a PhD in Cancer Biology, cell/molecular biology or a closely related discipline.
- Must hold a UK Personal Animal Licence (PIL).
- Significant, relevant experience in a range of cell/radiation biology techniques which must include:
- in vitro tissue culture
- protein biology (e.g. Western blotting, Flow cytometry, proteomics)
- whole cell assays (survival, proliferation, viability)
- in vivo cancer modelling (hold a UK PIL)
- molecular biology techniques, which may include immunofluorescence, si/shRNA, real-time PCR, luciferase and/or other reporter-based assays.
- Experience working with mouse and human ex vivo models.
