The Cancer Research Initiatives Foundation (CARIF) is the first independent Malaysian fundamental cancer research organization. We seek an understanding of the genetic basis of cancers in Malaysia through molecular analysis. The specific projects are described below:
1) Identification & characterization of genetic changes in oral, nasopharyngeal & liver cancer using whole genome approaches such as SAGE and microarrays
2) Characterization of sequence variations in the Asian population that are linked to an increased disposition to breast cancer
3) Novel cancer therapies derived from local flora: Isolation and characterization of novel light-activated compounds from Malaysian plants
CARIF is now offering the abovementioned positions for scientists who are enthusiastic to join our team.
I. Post doctoral research scientist (2 positions) You will have a PhD in genetics or related field, preferably with post-doctoral experience. You will be part of project 1 or 2 described above and report to the CEO and the Board of Trustees.
II. Research Associate (3 positions) You will assist the Project Leader in project 1 or project 2 above. You will have an MSc in molecular biology, genetics or related biology field.
