Prospective PhD opportunities in Mathematical Oncology at MOLAB/UCLM

MOLAB (Mathematical Oncology LABoratory) is inviting expressions of interest from outstanding and highly motivated candidates who want to pursue a PhD in mathematical oncology. The group develops mechanistic mathematical models and digital twins for clinically relevant problems in cancer research, with current projects spanning brain tumors, brain metastases, immunotherapy, radiopharmaceutical therapies, cancer metabolism, and other translational applications.

The research environment is described as highly international and collaborative, with opportunities for interdisciplinary work, conference participation, international collaborations, and research stays at leading institutions worldwide. The group works closely with hospitals and research centers in Spain and abroad.

Applicants are encouraged from backgrounds in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or related quantitative disciplines, together with a genuine interest in interdisciplinary biomedical research. The post indicates that candidates should have bachelor marks above 7.5/10 and a master degree finalized or expected to be completed by October 2026. Exceptional candidates with marks above 9/10 may be competitive for national fellowships such as the FPU programme or La Caixa PhD grants.

Funding is expected to come from upcoming fellowship calls, including the next UCLM PhD Fellowship Programme and possible new PhD fellowships funded by the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC). The post does not give a stipend amount, but it suggests that successful candidates may be supported through these fellowship schemes.

To express interest, candidates should contact Prof. Víctor M. Pérez García or another group professor in advance of the fellowship calls and send a CV, academic transcripts, a brief statement of research interests and motivation, and contact details for one or two academic referees. The group says that early contact will help assess eligibility and allow them to notify suitable candidates when the official calls are published.

Application window: prospective/expressions of interest now; official fellowship calls expected in the near future / coming months.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
