About this position

Postdoctoral opportunity at the Department of Molecular Pathology, Institute of Human Genetics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IHG PAS), Poznań, Poland.

The project focuses on B-cell lymphomas driven by IGH translocations involving oncogenes such as MYC, BCL2, BCL6, and CCND1. The research aims to develop a novel therapeutic strategy by targeting enhancer RNA (eRNA) transcribed from critical regions of IGH enhancers. The work includes high-throughput screening of small molecules that bind the eRNA, validation of hit compounds in lymphoma cell lines, assessment of toxicity toward normal cells, and in vivo testing in mouse xenograft models.

The successful candidate will take an active role in experimental work, including cell culture, molecular analyses, and functional studies, as well as analysis of results. Responsibilities also include presenting findings at seminars and conferences, contributing to scientific publications and review papers, and supervising students.

This is a full-time postdoc position (40 hours/week) with a planned starting date of 1 November 2026. The application deadline is 9 September 2026 at 23:59 (Europe/Warsaw). The position is based in Poznań, Poland, and is linked to the NCN Sonata Bis project SONATA BIS 2023/50/E/NZ1/00233, with funding noted under an Other EU programme.

Eligibility highlights include a PhD in biological, chemical, or medical sciences (awarded no earlier than 2018, with possible extension for eligible career breaks), strong molecular biology skills, a publication record in biological and/or medical sciences, fluent English, independence, motivation, teamwork ability, and experience with cell culture and animals as an advantage.

Applications should be submitted via the competition website. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview, and all applicants will be informed of the outcome. The institute will publish the winner on its website.
