About this position
Uppsala University and SciLifeLab are hiring a postdoc in experimental cell biology and high-content imaging for a clinically oriented colorectal cancer project. The work is part of ERKetype, a European consortium developing digital twins as biomarkers for ERK signaling therapy in colorectal cancer.
The project centers on 3D Cell Painting applied to primary patient-derived colorectal spheroids and organoids. A key research goal is to determine whether morphological profiles can predict drug responders and non-responders and help stratify patients. The post also mentions support from robotic infrastructure and ML/bioinformatics pipelines, so the role sits at the intersection of wet-lab biology, imaging, and computational analysis.
This is a strong fit for candidates with experience in microscopy, cell biology, cancer research, and image-based phenotyping. The post highlights opportunities to grow as an independent researcher, including co-supervising students, contributing to grants, and building an international network through a consortium that includes Institut Curie, Uppsala University, Oslo University Hospital, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, SINTEF, and Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
The announcer is Ola Spjuth, Professor at Uppsala University and CAIO at PixlBio. No deadline, salary, or funding amount is stated in the post text provided.
