About this position

The doctoral project is based at Lund University, in the Department of Clinical Sciences in Lund, within the Faculty of Medicine. It sits in a multidisciplinary and internationally oriented research environment where experimental and clinical expertise are closely connected.

The project is focused on malignant brain tumours and on how local neurosurgical treatment strategies can influence tumour biology and the tumour immune microenvironment. The research combines experimental and translational neurosurgery with close links to clinical practice, and is built around preclinical tumour models, cell-based methods, and studies of human biological material.

The PhD student will work within the doctoral project “Multimodal treatment of malignant brain tumours”. The work includes planning, conducting, analysing and documenting experiments, with an emphasis on local treatment approaches and combination therapies. Methods mentioned in the project include orthotopic experimental brain tumour models, cell culture and in vitro assays, local intracranial or intratumoral delivery of drugs or other substances, and experimental therapeutic approaches such as radiotherapy and laser interstitial thermal therapy.

The project also involves handling and analysis of human brain tumour tissue and biobank samples, together with collection and statistical analysis of experimental data. The student will participate in the research group’s scientific activities and in national and international collaborations, contributing to a translational research programme that links laboratory findings with neurosurgical questions.

The research group emphasises internationally competitive research together with a supportive and respectful working culture.

What's required

A relevant second-cycle degree or equivalent qualification in medicine, biomedicine, biology, molecular biology or another closely related life-science field is required. Applicants must also have documented research experience in experimental biomedical or neuroscience research relevant to the project or a closely related field, practical experience with experimental animal techniques relevant to neuroscience or tumour biology, experience of cell culture, cell-based experiments and in vitro assays, and experience handling and processing human biobank samples. Very good oral and written English proficiency is required, together with the ability to work independently and with perseverance, and strong analytical, writing and collaborative skills. Desirable qualifications include a medical degree, specific experience in experimental neuro-oncology, orthotopic or other preclinical brain tumour models, local intracerebral or intratumoral drug administration, diagnostic imaging in experimental animals, translational research with human biological samples, and scientific publications relevant to the project.
