Postdoctoral Position in Multimodal Single-Cell Analysis - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

At the Division of Clinical Genetics and within the research group led by Thoas Fioretos, we are seeking a postdoctoral researcher in multimodal single-cell analysis. The research group, consisting of around ten members, focuses on integrative genomic analyses of leukemia cells to better understand the origins of these diseases and to improve diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment of patients with leukemia. A major focus is on multimodal single-cell analysis of leukemia cells, which requires advanced bioinformatics expertise.

What We Offer
Lund University is a government agency, which means you are entitled to special benefits, generous vacation time, and a favorable occupational pension. Read more on the university’s website about working with us: Work at Lund University.

Job Description
The position involves planning, execution, and bioinformatic analysis of multimodal single-cell analyses (scRNA-seq, CITE-seq, Mut-seq) of leukemia cells. The successful candidate will work in a team of researchers with expertise in molecular genetics and bioinformatics and will be responsible for planning, conducting, analyzing, and compiling data from a large number of AML cases.

Qualifications

Required:

• PhD in Clinical Genetics or equivalent
• Documented experience in multimodal single-cell analysis of leukemia cells and subsequent bioinformatic data analysis
• At least one scientific publication as first author and co-authorship on at least three articles involving multimodal single-cell analysis of leukemia cells and bioinformatic analysis
• Strong programming skills (e.g., R and Seurat)

Merits:

• Particularly meritorious is experience in analyzing single-cell data from blood cancers and strong knowledge of genetic abnormalities in blood cancer cells
• Ability to work independently and take initiative, as well as experience working in a team

Other Information
The position is full-time and limited to two years, with the possibility of extension for up to one additional year. The employment is regulated according to the “Agreement on Fixed-Term Employment as a Postdoctoral Fellow – 2022-02-01”. Desired start date is October 1, 2025, or as agreed.

Eligibility
To be eligible for a postdoctoral position, the applicant must have obtained a doctoral degree, or a foreign degree deemed equivalent, in a subject relevant to the position (i.e., biology, biomedicine, medicine, chemistry). The degree must have been awarded no more than three years before the date of the employment decision. Exceptions may be made if there are special circumstances.

How to Apply
Applications are submitted via the university’s recruitment system. The application must include a cover letter describing how you meet the qualification requirements and why you are interested in the position. It should also include a CV with a list of publications, a general description of previous research work, a copy of your doctoral degree certificate, and any other documents you wish to submit (copies of diplomas, transcripts, references, letters of recommendation, etc.).
