The position is open to candidates with a PhD in Medicine or Biology, preferably awarded within the last three years. Applicants should have strong skills in cellular biology, including 2D/3D cell culture, flow cytometry, RNA sequencing, and experience with mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells. Additional experience with animal models, organ-on-chip technology, and preclinical leukemia research is highly valued. Excellent English communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively are essential. The role includes planning and conducting research projects, data analysis, and participation in seminars and meetings. The employment is full-time for two years (with possible extension to three years), starting from 1 March 2026 or as agreed.
