About this position
This postdoctoral project at Linköping University focuses on translational cancer metabolism and the metabolic interactions between tumors and host tissues. The research aims to deepen understanding of the metabolic mechanisms that drive cancer progression and metastasis by combining physiologically relevant human experimental models with quantitative metabolic approaches and multi-omics.
The project centers on stable isotope tracing in human ex vivo models to follow active metabolic pathways and fluxes. Experimental readouts will be integrated with molecular and computational analyses to identify metabolic mechanisms and signatures that can be translated across experimental systems and human clinical material.
You will work in an environment that combines experimental and translational cancer research with clinical material, quantitative biology, and computational analysis. The work is carried out in close collaboration with clinical researchers, analytical core facilities, and national and international research partners. The position is based at the Division of Surgery, Orthopedics and Oncology within the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, offering a multidisciplinary setting spanning laboratory, computational, and clinically oriented research.
The role is primarily research-focused, with the possibility of some teaching.

What's required
Applicants must have a PhD or an equivalent foreign degree assessed as comparable to a doctorate, and the degree must be completed by the time the appointment decision is made. It is meritorious if the PhD was awarded within the last three years before the application deadline, although special reasons may allow older degrees. A doctoral degree in medical science, biotechnology, biochemistry, systems biology, bioinformatics, or another relevant field is sought. The candidate must have documented research experience in experimental or quantitative metabolism and in analysing complex biological data. Strong English speaking and writing skills are required. Strong merits are given for experience in stable isotope tracing, isotope-labelling data analysis, mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and isotopologue analysis, cellular or tissue metabolism experiments, quantitative metabolic pathway and flux analysis, statistical and bioinformatics analysis of omics data, and programming/data analysis in R, Python or similar environments. Additional merits include carbon-13/deuterium tracing, metabolic flux analysis, mathematical modelling, ex vivo human tissue culture, handling human clinical material, untargeted metabolomics, multi-omics integration, single-cell RNA-seq analysis, mass spectrometry-based proteomics, cancer metabolism, interdisciplinary collaboration, independent project development, and success in obtaining research funding.
