PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Spatial Transcriptomics in Belgium

Beatriz Salvador Barbero is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the new Cell Heterogeneity in Cancer Initiation lab at the Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London. The CRUK-funded project investigates how cellular heterogeneity contributes to pancreatic cancer initiation . The researcher will work across complementary experimental and computationally enabled approaches, including cutting-edge transcriptomics, single-cell transcriptomics and spatial transcriptomics. The r...

The Price Lab at the University of Texas at Dallas is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead and expand a human neural tissue procurement program in partnership with the Southwest Transplant Alliance. The project centers on the recovery and scientific use of nervous system and spine tissues from organ donors, including dorsal root ganglia, spinal cord, trigeminal ganglia, lumbar and cervical vertebrae, intervertebral disc material, peripheral nerves, and brain tissue. These human samples will...

Queen Mary University of London is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead the bioinformatics component of a translational project on Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). The project, funded by Barts Charity, is hosted in Dr Maria Fragiadaki’s laboratory at the William Harvey Research Institute, within the Centre for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics at the John Vane Science Centre in London. The research will use 10x Genomics Visium spatial transcriptomics to investigat...

This PhD position at Amsterdam UMC sits at the intersection of medical oncology, hematology, immunology, and early-phase clinical research. The project focuses on improving cancer immunotherapy through two phase I studies, bringing together clinical trial work and laboratory-based translational research in a multidisciplinary setting. The first study investigates whether an existing hematological drug can safely enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy in solid tumours. The second study examin...

This postdoctoral position at KTH Royal Institute of Technology sits at the intersection of bioinformatics, adipose tissue biology, and metabolic disease research. The successful candidate will analyse large-scale single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data, together with other omics datasets from human adipose tissue, to investigate tissue cellular composition, metabolic function, and links to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and related diseases. The post is embedded in the Applied Genomics research...

This postdoctoral project investigates how the metabolic tumor microenvironment of pediatric neuroblastoma is organized, reprogrammed and potentially exploited for treatment. The position is part of the NCCR Children and Cancer consortium and connects the Laboratory of Exercise and Health at ETH Zurich, headed by Prof. Katrien De Bock, with the Morscher Lab at University Children's Hospital Zurich, led by Dr. Raphael Morscher. The researcher will establish and characterize genetic and/or orthoto...

Karolinska Institutet is offering a four-year doctoral project in the Baryawno laboratory at BioClinicum in Stockholm, affiliated with the Division of Pediatric Oncology and Pediatric Surgery in the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health. The project, “Decoding the metastatic cascade to bone,” addresses high-risk neuroblastoma, an embryonal tumour in which bone marrow metastases are common and relapse in bone is frequently fatal. The research will investigate which tumour clones seed bone, ...

The Lin Laboratory at the University of Southern California investigates the molecular mechanisms that drive cancer development, progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic response, with a strong focus on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and other upper aerodigestive cancers. This Research Associate role sits at the intersection of cancer genomics, epigenomics, organoid biology, tumor immunology, and translational cancer research. The successful candidate will work with patient-derived tu...

The University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar for the Gonzales Lab to investigate how light regulates vascular function in the choroid and how this mechanism may influence metabolic waste clearance from the retina in age-related macular degeneration. The project centers on understanding ocular vascular physiology and choroidal signaling using a broad experimental toolkit that combines ex vivo pressurized vascular and intact tissue preparations, high-resol...
