About this position
Postdoctoral Scholarship in T cell immunology, cancer immunology, and solid tumors at Karolinska Institutet (Department of Medicine Huddinge, Center for Hematology and Regenerative Medicine, HERM).
The TRM Group led by Assistant Professor Thomas R. Müller is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to study how human T cells traffic between circulation and tumor tissue, with an initial focus on lung cancer. The project aims to understand tissue-resident memory T cells and their role in anti-tumor immunity, and to translate biological insight into novel cellular immunotherapy and T cell engineering strategies.
The position offers a collaborative, international research environment with access to advanced cell culture, molecular biology, flow cytometry, and microscopy facilities. The successful candidate will work closely with the PI, postdocs, and PhD students in a newly established team focused on human immune responses in malignancy.
Eligibility emphasizes a PhD in immunology, cancer immunology, or a closely related field, along with at least one first-author publication and strong hands-on experience in tissue and tumor immunology, cell culture, tissue processing, flow cytometry, and molecular biology. Strong English communication skills, independence, and the ability to manage multiple projects are expected. Desired experience includes human tissue samples, animal models, spatial imaging methods (IHC/chip cytometry), genome editing, cell transduction, and analysis of multimodal/single-cell data using R or Python.
This is a scholarship-based postdoctoral appointment. The scholarship is tax free, paid on a six-month basis, and normally set for twelve months at a time; in exceptional cases, shorter periods may be acceptable. The scholarship may be granted for up to two years within a four-year period after the doctorate.
The position is located at Karolinska South Campus, Flemingsberg, Sweden. The application deadline is 16 November 2026. Applicants should submit an English or Swedish application including a CV, publication list, and a one-page summary of current work and motivation via the Varbi recruitment system.
