Join us in decoding a new layer of pediatric cancer biology!

Open since Oct 08, 2026

Introduction

Our FWF Emerging Fields Consortium brings together six complementary research groups (Falk, Grebien, Hein, Karagöz, Seruggia, Tomazou) across leading biomedical research institutions in Vienna to investigate the ribosome and translational control as a new and largely unexplored layer of pediatric cancer biology and therapy resistance.

About the research project

By combining cutting-edge genomic, proteomic, biochemical and structural approaches, we aim to decode cancer-specific mechanisms of translational regulation, the “ribosome code”, and iden-tify novel therapeutic vulnerabilities that could lead to safer and more effective treatments for children and adolescents with solid and hematological cancers.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will join one of the participating research groups while being part of a multidisciplinary consortium bringing together complementary expertise in pediatric cancer, translational regulation, RNA biology, functional genomics, proteomics and structural biology.
