Description
At the Department of Oncology-Pathology basic, translational and clinical research and educational activities related to cancer is carried out. Approximately 300 people from over 40 nations are currently working at the department. About 30 research groups with various cancer research profiles are involved and we have around 110 PhD students. The Department of Oncology-Pathology is responsible for undergraduate courses in Pathology, Oncology and Forensic Medicine for medical students, as well as for Tumor biology courses for biomedicine students and Pathology courses for opticians.

Join us at the department of Oncology-Pathology, Karolinska Institutet.
Division:
The research group led by Martin Enge is specialized in methodology-driven analysis of patient data, especially in the field of single-cell multiomics. We combine cutting-edge method development with strong ties to the clinic, and aim to directly influence future clinical practice.
Duties:
The project combines basic research with method development and will be centered around creating a unified diagnostic method based on joint genomic/mRNA sequencing and physical cell interaction (see: Zachariadis et al. Mol. Cell 2020, Andrews et al. Nat. Methods 2021, Enge et al. Cell 2017), and to use this method to better understand cancer evolution and how subclones persist treatment and cause relapse. It is a strictly data driven approach, and your main role will be to develop the computational methods involved. The project involves working closely with clinical collaborators, and directly contribute to improving future precision medicine.
Entry requirements:
Scholarships for postdoctoral qualification can be established for foreign researchers who place their qualifications in Sweden. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent.
A scholarship for carrying out postdoctoral research can be granted for a maximum of two years within a four year period following the receipt of a doctoral degree or equivalent.
The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish doctorate or higher.
Qualifications:
- We seek a highly motivated researcher with competence in computational biology.
Merits:
- Specific experience in analyzing sequence-level data on single cell level, R/Bioconductor and Python/Tensorflow will be useful but is not a requirement.
Location:Solna
Type of scholarship:
The amount is tax free and it is set for twelve months at a time, paid out on a six months basis. In exceptional cases, shorter periods may be acceptable.
Application process:
- _ A complete curriculum vitae, including date of the thesis defence, title of the thesis, previous academic positions, academic title, current position, academic distinctions, and committee work_
- _ A complete list of publications_
- _ A summary of current work (no more than one page)_
