About this position
Linköping University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a multidisciplinary project at the interface of cancer biology, immuno-oncology, systems biology and artificial intelligence.
The research will investigate processes regulating metastatic progression in pancreatic and gastrointestinal cancers and use integrated analysis of clinical data, molecular profiles and mechanistic models to predict metastasis. The postdoctoral researcher will analyse multimodal biomedical data from patients with pancreatic cancer and other aggressive tumour types, applying statistical modelling, machine learning and systems biology to identify drivers of metastasis and treatment resistance.
A central focus is the integration of data from primary tumour tissue, blood and pre-metastatic organs such as the liver. This work will support the development of predictive models and advanced virtual human twins of cancer patients, contributing to next-generation mechanistic and AI-based approaches in precision oncology.
The researcher will work across experimental and clinical collaborations, contributing to experimental design, data analysis, scientific publications and conference presentations. The role also includes supervision of undergraduate and graduate students and may include limited teaching. The postdoctoral researcher will be based in the Division of Surgery, Oncology, and Orthopaedics within the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine, as part of Linda Bojmar’s research group and in collaboration with the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
The position offers a research environment combining computational biology, biomedical data science, cancer research, clinical collaboration and precision medicine.

What's required
Applicants must have a doctoral degree or equivalent foreign degree awarded by the employment decision date, normally awarded no more than three years before the application deadline, and the degree must be from an institution other than Linköping University. A PhD in systems biology, bioinformatics, data science, computational biology or a closely related field is required. Experience in omics or other large-scale biomedical data analysis, machine learning and statistical modelling, mechanistic biological modelling, and Python, R or an equivalent programming environment is sought; experience in cancer biology or immuno-oncology is advantageous. Applicants should be organized, collaborative, able to communicate effectively across disciplines, and have excellent spoken and written English skills.
How to apply
Apply through the online “Apply” button at the application portal. Submit the application and required documents, including selected research publications in PDF or Word format, by November 30, 2026; printed publications, where necessary, must reach the University Registrar by the same deadline.
