This fully funded PhD studentship is based at the CRUK Scotland Centre and the University of Glasgow , with research focused on colorectal cancer biology, tumour-cell plasticity and metastasis. The project, titled “Restraining colorectal cancer cell plasticity by driving tumour cells towards a stable, terminally differentiated state,” builds on the research team’s findings that loss of ATRX drives multilineage plasticity and metastatic behaviour. The doctoral researcher will investigate how canc...

The Maus Lab at the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology investigates how aging influences cancer development and progression. This PhD project addresses a fundamental question in cancer biology: although precancerous cells are common, why do only some individuals develop cancer? The research will examine how aging gives precancerous cells a competitive advantage and how this altered cellular competition may promote colorectal cancer. The project aims to identify mechanisms through which aging re...

PhD project in neutrophil plasticity and immune-cell reprogramming This PhD opportunity is part of the newly funded REG-HUB project, which asks how immune cells can be reprogrammed to change their responses to cancer and infection. The research will focus on how neutrophils acquire distinct functional identities and how these cellular programs can be manipulated to reshape immune responses. The doctoral researcher will investigate the molecular mechanisms controlling neutrophil plasticity and fu...

About this position

This PhD opportunity is hosted by the Innate Immune Response & Tumour Immunology group at the IdiPAZ Institute of Biomedical Research within La Paz Hospital in Madrid, Spain.

The doctoral thesis will focus on basic and translational research into how cancers evade immune surveillance, generate metastases, and interact with the immune system. The laboratory works particularly on colorectal cancer and melanoma, providing a research setting that connects tumour biology, immunology, and clinically relevant investigation.

The student will work with patient-derived organoids and clinical samples while applying advanced experimental approaches including spectral flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. The project is situated in a hospital-based and international environment, with opportunities for research stays abroad and exposure to collaborative biomedical research.

The group is seeking a highly motivated researcher interested in experimental cancer research and the mechanisms underlying tumour–immune interactions.

Funding details

The opportunity offers a four-year doctoral thesis with competitive funding through the 2026 call for predoctoral contracts of the Community of Madrid. The stated minimum gross remuneration is €30,000 per year during the first three years and €35,000 during the fourth year, according to the call's conditions. Recruitment is conditional on the grant being awarded.

What's required

Applicants must have training in Biology, Biomedicine, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacy, Medicine, or a related discipline; access to doctoral studies; proficiency in English; and clear motivation for experimental research. For pre-selection, a minimum average academic grade of 8.5/10 is required. Laboratory experience and knowledge of immunology are advantageous.

How to apply

Send your CV, official bachelor's and master's degree grades, academic situation, and a short motivation text by private message. The selected candidate will receive support to participate in the official call.
