About this position
Postdoctoral scholarship in angiogenesis and cancer metabolism at Karolinska Institutet. The project is based in Professor Yihai Cao’s laboratory in the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology (MTC), within the Tumor Biology Division at Karolinska Institutet in Solna, Sweden.
The research focuses on how angiogenesis, vascular biology, and adipose metabolism shape tumor growth, metastasis, and responses to anticancer therapy. The laboratory has developed unique technologies and platforms to study the molecular mechanisms driving the onset, development, and progression of cancer, with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic targets and generating mechanistic insight for new cancer drugs.
The appointed researcher will investigate the impact of tumor vasculature and metabolism on tumor progression and drug response in a cross-disciplinary project. The work involves newly developed omics approaches and in vivo disease models, and the successful candidate will work independently while collaborating with experienced senior members of the laboratory.
The broader research environment at MTC and the Tumor Biology Division is described as multidisciplinary and internationally collaborative, with a strong emphasis on basic mechanisms and translational research in malignant disease. The position is located in a setting that combines medical research with wide-ranging expertise across immunology, infection biology, cell biology, and cancer.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in an appropriate scientific field, or an equivalent foreign doctorate, and the degree requirements must be completed before the intended start date if the doctorate is not yet finished at application time. The position is restricted to foreign researchers who come to Sweden for postdoctoral education and who have not been resident in Sweden or completed part of their academic education in Sweden. Solid research experience and an excellent track record in the cancer field are required. Meritorious experience includes cell culture, flow cytometry, IHC, ELISA, cell biology, genomics, proteomics, and basic molecular techniques such as SDS-PAGE, Western blot, and qPCR. Experience in vascular biology, metabolism, metastasis, and drug treatment in experimental mouse models is essential. Development of new technologies is desirable, and supervision experience with young scientists is an advantage.
