About this position
Cell Therapy & Regenerative Medicine at the Department of Experimental Medical Science, Lund University, is a newly established research group at BMC in Lund and part of the Wallenberg Center for Molecular Medicine (WCMM). The group is led by Sara Rolandsson Enes, WCMM-fellow and assistant professor, and works at the international forefront of translational research on cell-based treatments for acute inflammatory lung diseases.
The advertised postdoctoral project centers on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) as a promising cell therapy for severe inflammatory lung disease, especially ARDS. The successful candidate will investigate how the inflammatory host environment shapes MSC function and therapeutic properties, combining analyses of patient material with experimental models to study interactions between therapeutic cells and the injured lung.
The work is strongly translational and includes building an ARDS biobank, characterizing biological samples, performing imaging-based analyses, and carrying out mechanistic studies of MSCs. The project aims to identify mechanisms that regulate treatment effects and to support the development of more effective MSC-based therapies for patients with severe lung disease.
The postdoc will join a research environment that emphasizes collaboration, scientific activity, and a supportive workplace culture. The role involves substantial hands-on laboratory work and active participation in meetings, seminars, and scientific conferences, with responsibility for processing and storing ARDS patient samples and characterizing them as part of the project workflow. Teaching may also become relevant.
The position is placed within WCMM Lund, offering access to WCMM activities and the WCMM research school, and is embedded in a university setting focused on biomedical and translational research.

What's required
A PhD or equivalent foreign degree in pulmonary medicine or a closely related subject is required, and the doctorate must be completed by the time the appointment decision is made. Applicants should have documented laboratory research experience including cell culture, assay development, and tissue remodeling, good experience analyzing and working with biological and clinical data, extensive imaging experience, very good oral and written communication skills in both Swedish and English, experience in translational research, the ability to work independently and collaboratively, in-depth knowledge of the lung and its immune cells, the ability to develop and conduct high-quality research, and pedagogical ability. Experience in inflammatory lung disease research, biomedical analyst training or similar, and international collaboration are meriting.
