PhD and Postdoctoral Positions in Advanced Cancer Models, Genomics, and Microbiome–Immune–Tumor Interactions

PhD and Postdoctoral positions are now open at the Centro de Investigación del Cáncer (CSIC-Universidad de Salamanca), Universidad de Salamanca, Spain, in the Advanced Cancer Models & Genomics group led by L. Francisco Lorenzo Martín. These positions are funded by a recently awarded ERC Starting Grant and focus on engineering advanced colorectal cancer ex vivo ecosystems to uncover microbiota–immune–tumor interactions and accelerate personalized oncology. Research areas include immuno-oncology, cancer biology, organoids, tissue engineering, microfluidics, and microbiome–cancer interactions. The group offers a vibrant scientific and collaborative environment, with flexible starting dates in early 2026. The opportunity is ideal for highly motivated researchers passionate about building sophisticated in vitro cancer systems and driving translational discoveries in oncology. Applicants should have a strong background in one or more of the listed research areas. While no specific degree, GPA, or language requirements are mentioned, relevant research experience is expected. Funding is provided by the ERC Starting Grant, covering salary/stipend for both PhD and postdoctoral researchers.
