About this position
Linköping University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate cancer genomics and the regulation of cell fate by Wnt signaling.
The project examines how the conserved Wnt cell-to-cell communication pathway controls transcriptional responses through nuclear β-catenin. The researcher will study cancer types with constitutively active Wnt signaling and investigate how this pathway contributes to heterogeneous cell behavior, including self-renewal, differentiation, and migration.
The postdoctoral researcher will work in the Cantù Lab within the Division of Molecular Medicine and Virology, Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, at the Medical Faculty of Linköping University. The lab is also affiliated with the Wallenberg Center for Molecular Medicine and SciLifeLab, providing an internationally oriented environment for research in molecular and biomedical science.
The work combines advanced cell culture systems, organoid models, molecular biology, transcription-factor profiling, single-cell transcriptomics, computational analysis, microscopy-based imaging, immunohistochemistry, and cell-culture differentiation approaches. The role is principally research-focused, with limited teaching and supervision activities.

What's required
Applicants must hold a doctoral degree or equivalent foreign degree by the employment decision, awarded no more than three years before the application deadline unless special grounds apply. The doctorate must be from an institution other than Linköping University, preferably in molecular biology or a related subject. Required experience includes advanced cell culture systems such as organoids, RT-qPCR, Western blotting, DNA cloning, transcription-factor profiling, single-cell transcriptomics analysis, and computational skills in R and Python. Experience in microscopy-based imaging, immunohistochemistry, and cell-culture differentiation protocols is advantageous. Fluency in spoken and written English is required, along with curiosity, interest in teaching and supervision, and the ability to collaborate in an internationally oriented research group.
How to apply
Apply through the online Apply button and submit the required application materials, including selected research publications electronically in PDF or Word format. Publications that cannot be submitted electronically must be mailed in three sets to the University Registrar at Linköping University and received by 30 November 2026.
