About this position
This postdoctoral position is part of an interdisciplinary research environment at Linköping University focused on cancer systems biology, immuno-oncology, system biology and artificial intelligence. The project aims to understand the biological processes that regulate different stages of metastasis in pancreatic cancer and other gastrointestinal tumors, and to turn that knowledge into predictive models for patient outcomes.
The postdoc will work with multimodal biomedical data from patients with pancreatic cancer and other aggressive cancers, combining clinical information, molecular profiles and mechanistic models. The research includes statistical modeling, machine learning and systems biology approaches to identify factors that drive metastasis and treatment response.
A major theme of the project is integration across tumor tissue, blood and pre-metastatic organs such as the liver, with the goal of building advanced predictive models and virtual human twins of cancer patients. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with experimental researchers and clinical partners and contribute to next-generation mechanistic and AI-based models for precision oncology.
The position is connected to BKV at the Faculty of Medicine, Linköping University, and the researcher will be affiliated with Bojmar’s research group in collaboration with the Systems Biology group. The role is research-intensive and also includes scientific publishing, conference presentations, and supervision of degree students and doctoral students. Limited teaching may also be part of the appointment.
The appointment is full-time and fixed-term for three years, with a possible funded research stay abroad during the appointment.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD or an equivalent foreign degree by the time of the hiring decision, and the degree must normally have been awarded no more than three years before the application deadline unless special circumstances apply. The doctorate must have been obtained at a university other than Linköping University. A PhD in systems biology, bioinformatics, computer science, computational biology, or a closely related field is required. Experience in at least one of the following is expected: omics data or other large-scale biomedical data analysis, machine learning and statistical modeling, mechanistic models of biological systems, or programming in Python, R, or similar environments. Documented knowledge and experience in cancer biology and/or immuno-oncology is meritorious. Excellent written and spoken English, plus strong organizational, collaborative, and interdisciplinary communication skills, are expected.
