About this position
This postdoctoral position is based in the Cantù laboratory at Linköping University and is part of the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine and SciLifeLab. The project investigates how Wnt signaling regulates cell fate, with a particular focus on cancer forms that show constitutively active Wnt signaling.
The successful candidate will study how the canonical Wnt pathway and the nuclear protein β-catenin generate different transcriptional responses depending on cellular context and developmental state. A central aim is to understand how this signaling pathway contributes to heterogeneous cell behavior, including self-renewal, differentiation, and migration.
The role sits within an internationally oriented and competitive research environment at the Department of Molecular Medicine and Virology, in the Faculty of Medicine at Linköping University. The position is embedded in a research setting that combines molecular medicine, cancer genomics, and advanced cellular models.
Alongside research, the appointment may include limited teaching. The position is offered in a lab environment connected to ongoing work in cancer-related signaling and cellular plasticity.
Funding details
Funded by the Högbom-Cocozza research foundation; salary 43,000 SEK per month; includes the possibility of a 6-12 month overseas research stay financed by the foundation and an eligible third-year operating grant of approximately 500,000 SEK.
What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent foreign degree no more than three years before the application deadline, and the degree must be completed by the time the appointment decision is made. The degree should be from another university than Linköping University. The successful candidate should have a doctorate in a field related to molecular biology, or equivalent knowledge. Required experience includes advanced cell culture systems such as organoids from different organs, basic molecular biology methods (RT-qPCR, Western blot, DNA cloning), transcription factor profiling, single-cell transcriptomics analysis, and computational skills such as R and Python. Very good spoken and written English is required. Experience with microscopy-based image analysis, immunohistochemistry, and cell differentiation protocols is considered meritorious. Interest in teaching and supervision of students at undergraduate and advanced levels, and willingness to collaborate in an internationally oriented and competitive research group, are also expected.
