The Laboratory of Tumour Immunology at the St. Anna Childrens Cancer Research Institute (CCRI), Vienna, Austria, is accepting applications for the position of a postdoc/staff scientist in the area of
Tumour Immunology and Tumour Immune Therapy
focussing on molecular and genetic aspects of immune regulation by dendritic cells.
The CCRI is a multi-disciplinary research institute focusing on various aspects of cancer development, diagnosis, and treatment. The Laboratory of Tumour Immunology has been engaged in the study of the cellular and molecular biology of anti-tumour immunity for many years. In line with the CCRIs strong translational research focus, the Laboratory of Tumour Immunology developed a technology platform for anti-tumour immune therapy, which is now studied in clinical phase II trials. Our basic research projects aim at an understanding of the molecular biology and genetics of immune regulation by dendritic cells with particular emphasis on negative regulatory feedback loops, and exploiting this knowledge for cancer immune therapy.

Applications for training fellowships in 2007-2008 are invited from junior scientists from low- or medium-resource countries wishing to complete their training in those aspects of cancer research related to the Agency’s mission: to coordinate and conduct both epidemiological and laboratory research into the causes of cancer. Disciplines covered include: epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental chemical carcinogenesis, cancer etiology and prevention, infection and cancer, molecular cell biology, molecular genetics, molecular pathology and mechanisms of carcinogenesis, with emphasis on interdisciplinary projects.
Fellowships are tenable at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France working in a research Group. Applicants are eligible from any country other than those classified as high-income economies by the World Bank. The fellowship is for a period of one year, with the possibility of an extension for a second year subject to satisfactory appraisal.
