Post Doctoral Fellow, Experimental Therapeutics

BC Cancer Research Centre

Vancouver, BC

Our team is currently looking for four PDFs. These PDFs will report to the Department Head of Experimental Therapeutics (Dr. Marcel Bally) and the Manager of the Investigational Drug Program (Dr. Nancy Dos Santos).

The successful PDF will be responsible for the management and conduct of in vivo studies (rodents), including a diverse range of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, safety, toxicity and efficacy studies focusing on the development of therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Unlike a typical post-doctoral fellow, the individual will work on numerous research projects and will be trained in a variety of methods that must be met as potential drug candidates are moved from the bench to the clinic. The research team has knowledge and experience in the development of nanomedicines; an experience that has proven to be of value when considering the development of new therapeutics in general. Ideally the PDF will understand the importance of formulation methods that should be suitable for manufacturing and use of formulation components that are safe and pharmaceutically viable. At any one time the PDF may be working on as many as five different projects and will become part of a team of animal care experts and management experts. Working as part of a team is essential and project management experience/training is desired.

What you bring

PhD degree in a related discipline. Direct experience with in vivo pharmacology/toxicology studies. Expertise in cancer models and/or other disease models is desired. Demonstrated skills in the development of drug candidate formulation suitable for use in vivo Comprehensive knowledge of CCAC and IACC regulations and guidelines related to research activities in animals. Completion of multiple levels of training required for animal care and use is desired. An understanding of operations within a barrier facility and working knowledge of standard operating procedures. Some knowledge of completing GLP safety/pharmacology studies is desired. A proven track record of working as part of a team to complete in vitro and in vivo studies. While working as part of a team, it is essential that the individual be able to work independently. Excellent project management skills are desired. Analytical capabilities Very organized and detail-oriented Excellent written and verbal communication, examples of reports written by the candidate are required.

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.).

We recognize that our ability to provide the best care for our diverse patient populations relies on a rich diversity of skills, knowledge, background and experience, and value a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.

Reconciliation is an ongoing process and a shared responsibility for all of us. The BC Governments’ unanimous passage of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act was a significant step forward in this journey—one that all health authorities are expected to support as we work in cooperation with Indigenous Peoples to establish a clear and sustainable path to lasting reconciliation. True reconciliation will take time and ongoing commitment to work with Indigenous Peoples as they move toward self-determination. Guiding these efforts Crown agencies must remain focused on creating opportunities that implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Mandate.
