Applications are invited from highly motivated and eligible candidates for post-doctoral positions at the
Cancer Research Institute, ACTREC for the advertised projects. The applicant must have obtained a PhD

selected candidates will be encouraged to apply for extramural grants under the mentorship of the PIs.
