We are hiring scientists for a translational cancer research program at Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC-Campinas) in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. The group is focused on Immuno-Oncology , tumor evolution , and cancer vaccines , with a strong translational and clinical research orientation. The research environment integrates patient-derived organoids, advanced mouse and zebrafish models, and computational biology / AI-driven approaches to study how tumor dynamics and immune shaping influence cancer progression, therapeutic response, and resistance. This is a full-time position for motivated, proactive scientists with a PhD in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Cancer Biology, or a related field. The post emphasizes strong mechanistic thinking, scientific rigor, and deep biological reasoning. Preferred technical skills include cell culture, cloning, Western blotting, qPCR, and experimental cancer models. Experience with mouse models and computational biology tools such as R or Python is highly valued, though not mandatory. Funding is described as stable and long-term, supported by FINEP, FAPESP, CNPq, and CAPES . The role is reported to be well funded, internationally collaborative, and compensated above standard Brazilian postdoctoral rates, with a full PUC-Campinas CLT employment arrangement. There is no explicit deadline or application link in the post. Interested candidates should review the poster’s LinkedIn profile and contact the group directly for next steps.
