Postdoctoral Position in Computational Biology and Neuro-Immune Interactions in Cancer

The Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel is offering a postdoctoral position in Computational Biology. The research group led by Professor Karen Dixon is seeking a highly motivated candidate to investigate neuro-immune interactions in cancer. The project focuses on understanding the complex roles of intra-tumoral neurons in tumor progression, metastasis, and anti-tumor immunity. Candidates with experience in analyzing cellular and molecular networks, especially using single-cell and spatial omics approaches, are encouraged to apply. The ideal applicant will have proficiency in machine learning, artificial intelligence, or statistical modelling as applied to biological data, along with a strong background in computational data analysis and a solid understanding of biological and biomedical concepts. The position offers close collaboration with neuroscience, oncology, immunology, and cancer immunology labs, providing a dynamic and vibrant scientific network. The Department of Biomedicine is located in Basel, Switzerland, and is known for its international environment and focus on basic, translational, and clinical research. Attractive employment conditions are provided, though specific funding details are not listed. The position is full-time (100%). Interested candidates should submit their application via the University of Basel's job portal. For more information, visit the department's LinkedIn page or the official job posting.
