Postdoctoral and PhD Positions in Intracellular Host-Pathogen Interactions and Cell-Autonomous Immunity

The Sixt Lab at Umeå University, Sweden, led by Research Group Leader Barbara Susanne Sixt, is seeking to expand its team with two passionate postdoctoral researchers and also offers PhD projects. The lab focuses on illuminating the hidden power of cell-autonomous immunity, with research interests centered on intracellular host-pathogen interactions, cell-autonomous immunity, and the development and use of advanced culture models. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates interested in infection biology and molecular medicine to join a dynamic and innovative research environment. Applicants should have a strong background in biology, molecular medicine, or related fields. Experience or a keen interest in host-pathogen interactions and advanced cell culture techniques is highly desirable. The lab values scientific curiosity, motivation, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. While specific funding details are not provided in the announcement, further information can be found on the Sixt Lab website. The application deadline is March 31, 2026. For more information and to apply, candidates are encouraged to visit the Sixt Lab's official website. This opportunity is ideal for those aiming to advance their research careers in the fields of cell-autonomous immunity and infection biology at a leading Swedish institution.
