Uppsala University and SciLifeLab are hiring a postdoc in experimental cell biology and high-content imaging for a clinically oriented colorectal cancer project. The work is part of ERKetype , a European consortium developing digital twins as biomarkers for ERK signaling therapy in colorectal cancer. The project centers on 3D Cell Painting applied to primary patient-derived colorectal spheroids and organoids . A key research goal is to determine whether morphological profiles can predict drug responders and non-responders and help stratify patients. The post also mentions support from robotic infrastructure and ML/bioinformatics pipelines , so the role sits at the intersection of wet-lab biology, imaging, and computational analysis. This is a strong fit for candidates with experience in microscopy , cell biology , cancer research , and image-based phenotyping. The post highlights opportunities to grow as an independent researcher, including co-supervising students , contributing to grants , and building an international network through a consortium that includes Institut Curie , Uppsala University , Oslo University Hospital , Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin , SINTEF , and Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) . The announcer is Ola Spjuth , Professor at Uppsala University and CAIO at PixlBio. No deadline, salary, or funding amount is stated in the post text provided.
