The SpaXio MSCA Doctoral Network is recruiting 14 PhD students for cutting-edge research in spatial biology, spatial omics, and bioinformatics, with a strong focus on cancer metastasis and multi-omics data integration. Projects span experimental and computational approaches, including imaging, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and advanced modeling. The network is composed of leading research groups across several European universities, including the Technical University of Munich, Salzburg University, Lausanne University, Marseille University, Tübingen University, Madrid University, Paris University, and others. Each PhD project addresses a unique aspect of cancer biology, from tumor microenvironment and metastasis mechanisms to computational analysis and digital twin modeling. The program offers a rigorous, transparent selection process, ensuring equal opportunities and scientific excellence. All positions are fully funded, with competitive salaries and benefits provided by MSCA (EU) or equivalent national sources. Applicants must have a relevant Master's degree, strong motivation, and meet MSCA mobility requirements. The application window is October 14 to November 8, 2025, with recruitment planned for early 2026. For details and to apply, visit the SpaXio recruitment homepage.
