About this position

Join the Systems Immunology Lab at Lund University for a 2-year fully funded postdoc in experimental immunology, focused on how the interplay between immunity, metabolism, and hormones shapes women’s health.

The project investigates immune mechanisms in women with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (formerly known as PCOS) and is carried out in collaboration with Elisabet Stener-Victorin at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. The postdoc will also have opportunities to contribute to related projects on immune sex differences and immune-reproductive crosstalk in humans.

Ideal applicants should have hands-on experience with flow cytometry, cell sorting, primary immune cell culture, and molecular biology techniques such as DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, and library prep/sequencing. Experience with next-generation sequencing data analysis and programming is not required, but is considered a merit.

The position is based at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Sweden. The post encourages applications from individuals from diverse or underrepresented backgrounds. Eligible candidates include those who recently completed their PhD or are close to finishing it before the start date.

To apply, email your materials to [email protected] by 2026-10-11.
