About this position

The Kim Laboratory at EPFL is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study how neuronal activity and the physical tumor microenvironment cooperate to drive brain cancer progression.

The project focuses on the mechanochemical dialogue between the nervous system and glioma cells. Building on recent work from the group showing that neuron-derived neuroligin-3 engages CSPG4, increases membrane tension, and activates the mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1, the successful candidate will investigate how tissue stiffness, extracellular matrix composition, and mechanosensitive signaling proteins regulate neuron–glioma interactions and tumor proliferation.

The lab combines advanced molecular and optical technologies with molecular biology, cell biology, and systems neuroscience approaches. The postdoctoral researcher will work in a highly interdisciplinary setting with access to EPFL facilities and international collaborations, and will contribute to a broader effort to identify therapeutic vulnerabilities that arise from tumor cells interacting with their neuronal and physical microenvironment.

The position is based in Lausanne, in the Kim Laboratory at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

Funding details

Fully funded postdoctoral position for at least three years.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in neuroscience, cancer biology, cell biology, molecular biology, bioengineering, or a related field. Excellent written and spoken English skills are required. Strong expertise in whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology is expected. Experience with stereotactic surgery, intracranial tumor models, acute brain-slice recordings, calcium imaging, and cancer research is particularly valuable. Candidates should have a strong research track record, including at least one first-author publication in a well-regarded peer-reviewed journal.

How to apply

Apply through the online platform only using the EPFL careers page. The position is reviewed on a rolling basis until filled. For questions, contact Dr. Yoon Kim by email.
