The position will be based at the Division of Pathology in the research group of Jonas Fuxe, focusing on tumor plasticity, metastasis, and tumor microenvironment interactions in cancer.

Your mission

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join projects investigating how tumor cell plasticity contributes to cancer progression, metastatic dissemination, and resistance to therapy. The research combines experimental cancer biology with translational approaches and focuses on interactions between tumor cells, stromal cells, and the immune microenvironment.

Experience in one or several of the following areas is considered advantageous:

  • cancer biology and metastasis research

  • cell signaling and tumor microenvironment biology

  • advanced microscopy or imaging approaches

  • flow cytometry and molecular biology techniques

  • bioinformatics or computational analysis
