About this position
Lund University’s Division of Molecular Skeletal Biology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Cell, Tissue and Organ Engineering group led by Paul Bourgine. Based in the Faculty of Medicine in Lund, Sweden, the group develops human-specific knowledge to support innovative regenerative therapies.
The research focuses on bone as a complex organ with structural, mechanical and hematopoietic functions. The project will examine the coordinated development of cartilage, vasculature, bone and bone marrow during endochondral ossification, with the aim of understanding cellular and molecular events relevant to skeletal tissue engineering and regeneration.
The postdoctoral researcher will develop novel culture systems for tissue engineering, isolate and differentiate primary human cells, and investigate the processes underlying ossification. The work combines vascular biology and vessel engineering with human primary-cell culture, two-dimensional and three-dimensional models, microfluidics, microscopy and analytical laboratory methods. The role may also involve prototyping with AutoCAD and collaboration across interdisciplinary research activities.
The Bourgine lab promotes a respectful, inclusive and supportive research environment, with attention to professional development, job satisfaction and collaboration. The position also offers an opportunity to deepen and broaden research expertise through research-focused academic qualification, with limited higher education teaching potentially included.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in Biology or Bioengineering, or an equivalent foreign degree, by the employment decision. Required qualifications include documented postdoctoral experience in different laboratories; at least three first-author publications in peer-reviewed journals; experience in vascular biology and vessel engineering; robust experience in 3D culture applied to ossification; strong laboratory and analytical skills; experience culturing and differentiating human primary cells in 2D and 3D; experience with microfluidics, microscopy and AutoCAD prototyping; and good written and spoken English. Merits include human mesenchymal cell culture and differentiation, biomaterials science and/or polymer synthesis, 3D printing/additive manufacturing and related software, and service as an executive member of scientific societies.
