PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Spatial Transcriptomics

Postdoctoral research opportunity at Karolinska Institutet in human uterine NK cell biology. The project is hosted by the research group of Professor Niklas Björkström at the Center for Infectious Medicine, Department of Medicine, Huddinge, where the team investigates human tissue-resident natural killer cells with a strong translational immunology focus. The advertised scholarship position centers on uterine NK cells and their role in the endometrium and early pregnancy. The successful candidat...

The Koplev lab at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and SciLifeLab is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to develop computational methods for studying human tissue architecture using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. The project sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and spatial biology, with a focus on how cells organize into complex human tissues and how computational approaches can reveal that organization in health and disease. The research is centere...

Duke University School of Medicine is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to conduct independent research in cancer treatment and survivorship under the guidance of a faculty mentor. The project examines how cancer treatment and survivorship affect tissue integrity and function in model systems. Research activities include evaluating neuromuscular function and skeletal muscle integrity, as well as studying cell numbers and fate, gene expression changes, cellular signaling, and genome-wide alteratio...

The OctoPath Lab at the University of California, Irvine is recruiting postdoctoral researchers to develop AI methods for medicine and pathology. The project centers on deep learning and computational approaches for pathology image analysis, multimodal data integration, and the analysis of additional medical data types such as proteomics, spatial transcriptomics, genomics, and radiology. The lab led by Prof. Jana Lipkova focuses on building AI systems that support diagnosis, prognosis, treatment...

The Ye Lab at Virginia Tech is recruiting a postdoctoral associate for an NIH-funded project examining how glioma reshapes and exploits the tumor microenvironment to support malignant progression. The research is centered on malignant glioma and the role of astrocytes in shaping the local brain environment during disease. The project combines genetically engineered mouse models and human glioma models with advanced imaging, single-cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics, and molecular biol...

A full-time postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Laboratory of Dr. Sayan Nandi at Howard University , in collaboration with Dr. Thomas Heinbockel and Dr. Byron Ford in the Department of Anatomy in Washington, DC. The project investigates the roles of neuroinflammation in brain injury , with a particular emphasis on microglia as the brain’s principal immune cells. The work examines how microglial activation can both support recovery by clearing dead neurons and exacerbate injury by releasi...

Baylor College of Medicine is recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate for the Hudson laboratory in Houston, Texas. The position is centered on cancer immunology, viral immunology, and immunotherapy , with the goal of understanding immune responses to tumors and viruses and developing improved treatments for cancer and infectious disease. The postdoctoral researcher will lead projects investigating how T cells become dysfunctional in mouse models of viral infection and cancer, as well as studying hum...

University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht) is offering a postdoctoral position in ALS protein biology and pathway discovery. The project focuses on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating neurodegenerative disease marked by progressive motor neuron loss, and aims to connect human genetics and transcriptomics with protein-level mechanisms in disease-relevant tissues and models. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will investigate how ALS-associated genes and pathways manifest at the...

A PhD position in Evolutionary Genomics is available in the group of Henrik Kaessmann at Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, Germany. The project is part of a highly collaborative research environment at the ZMBH and is focused on major questions in the origins and molecular evolution of organs in mammals and other vertebrates. The lab’s research emphasizes the evolution of gene expression and its regulatory basis, using extensive comparative genomics resources such as single-cell RNA-seq and A...
