YOUR ROLE IN OUR FUTURE This Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow will be based within the Goel Laboratory at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

We have developed several new transgenic mouse models of cancer which have proven valuable for uncovering new mechanisms of drug activity, and our work has been published in high-impact journals including Nature, Cancer Cell, Cancer Discovery, and Nature Cancer. Importantly, several of our discoveries have translated into large-scale clinical trials. At present, the Goel lab is focused on addressing some of the fundamental unanswered questions relating to tumour dormancy and therapy-induced senescence in cancer.

Conducting rigorous, valid and ethical research both independently and as part of the laboratory team.Communicating research outcomes: writing and leading the publication of scientific papers and presenting at relevant meetings.Providing input into the administrative and management functions of the laboratory, including supervision of staff and students and leading appropriate research-based grant and fellowship applications.Fostering excellent working relationships with colleagues, collaborators, and other key stakeholders.Innovative thinking and engagement with the group leader and laboratory in the pursuit of excellence will see the appointed succeed.
