BC Cancer - Victoria’s Trev and Joyce Deeley Research Centre is a world-class cancer research facility specializing in cancer immunotherapy. We are seeking a Research Assistant 1 (RA1) to help develop novel therapies that promote anti-cancer immune responses by boosting B cell responses. This RA1 role is a two-year position with the possibility of extension based on grant funding and performance.

Under the supervision of the Project Lead, the successful applicant will play an important role in supporting pre-clinical studies aimed at deciphering and harnessing the role of tumour-infiltrating B cells (TIL-Bs) and their antibodies in the anti-tumour immune response to ovarian cancer. The results will fill key knowledge gaps in the current understanding of TIL-Bs, including identifying their largely unknown target antigens, which may lead to novel therapeutic targets.

The successful applicant will be responsible for planning and performing experiments as needed using some or all the following techniques: molecular cloning (including bacterial transformation and DNA isolation), mammalian cell culture, protein lysate preparation, protein gel electrophoresis, silver staining, western blot, ELISAs, flow cytometry, and plate-based cell cytotoxicity assays.

- A level of education, training, and experience equivalent to completion of Grade 12, supplemented by recognized university level science courses; plus one (1) year of recent related experience in a research laboratory.

You have:

- Commitment to upholding the shared responsibility of creating lasting and meaningful reconciliation in Canada as per TRC (2015) and BC's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (2019).
- Knowledge of social, economic, political and historical realities impacting indigenous communities and familiarity with Indigenous Cultural Safety and anti-racism and accompanying reports (BC DRIPA, TRC, etc.).

That’s why we’re focused on your care too - offering health, wellness, development programs to support you - at work and at home.
- Join one of BC’s largest employers with province-wide programs, services and operations - offering vast opportunities for growth, development, and recognition programs that honour the commitment and contribution of all employees.
