About this position
Postdoc in tumor immunology and immunotherapy at Linköping University, Sweden.
This postdoctoral opening is in the Division of Molecular Medicine and Virology (MMV), Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV), in Judit Svensson Arvelund’s research group. The project sits at the intersection of biology, medical science, tumor immunology, and immunotherapy, with a focus on how immune cells in the tumor microenvironment influence response or resistance to cancer treatment, especially in lymphomas.
The research program integrates experimental mouse models, patient material, and advanced technologies such as spectral flow cytometry, confocal imaging, single-cell RNA-sequencing, and functional assays. The role is primarily research-focused, with up to 20% teaching possible. The position is full-time and fixed-term for three years.
Funding comes from a donation by the Högbom-Cocozza Research Foundation. The salary is SEK 43,000 per month. The foundation may also support a 6–12 month stay abroad at another higher education institution and, before the third year, an opportunity to apply for an independent research grant of approximately SEK 500,000.
Eligibility requires a doctoral degree or equivalent, awarded no more than three years before the deadline unless special grounds apply, and the degree must be from a university other than Linköping University. Applicants should have experience in tumor immunology or a related field, mammalian cell culture, immunological assays including multicolor flow cytometry, molecular biology, and experimental mouse models. Very good spoken and written English is required. Experience with basic bioinformatics and analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing or other high-dimensional datasets is considered an advantage.
The deadline is 30 November 2026. Apply via the university’s online portal by clicking the Apply button and submit all required materials before the deadline. Selected publications should be attached electronically; if any publication cannot be uploaded, three printed sets must be mailed to the University Registrar in Linköping so they arrive by the deadline.
