About this position

Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Parkville, Melbourne, Australia, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the Beavis Laboratory. The 12-month, full-time position will be supervised by Professor Paul Beavis and offers the opportunity to develop independent research directions aligned with the laboratory’s goals.

The successful researcher will lead a high-impact cancer immunology project focused on engineering next-generation CAR T cells for solid tumours. The work will emphasise CRISPR-mediated cytokine armouring to overcome the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, with opportunities for scientific independence, close mentorship, high-impact publications and career development.

Applicants must hold a PhD in cancer immunotherapy, immunology, cell biology or a related discipline. Relevant experience includes molecular biology, immune cell culture, flow cytometry, mouse work and general laboratory techniques. Experience with genetically modified cells, in vivo immunology and bioinformatics analysis is advantageous.

The position is offered at a base salary of AUD $99,725–$115,527 per year, depending on experience, with salary packaging and additional staff benefits. Applications close at 11:59 pm on 15 November 2026.
