Just Landed

Linköping University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate cancer genomics and the regulation of cell fate by Wnt signaling. The project examines how the conserved Wnt cell-to-cell communication pathway controls transcriptional responses through nuclear β-catenin. The researcher will study cancer types with constitutively active Wnt signaling and investigate how this pathway contributes to heterogeneous cell behavior, including self-renewal, differentiation, and migration. The post...

Quick Questions

Do I need to contact a supervisor before applying for a PhD position?
In many European and Asian universities yes; in some US programs applications are centralized but supervisor contact still helps.
Is GRE required for master’s or PhD applications abroad?
It depends on the country and university — many programs have made GRE optional, especially outside the US.
Do funded PhD positions usually cover tuition and living expenses?
Yes. Most funded PhD roles include tuition coverage plus a monthly stipend, but details vary by country and lab.
Are publications required to apply for PhD or postdoc positions?
Not always required for PhD, but strongly recommended. For postdoc roles, publications are usually expected.
Will I need to pay a tuition deposit for master’s admission?
In many countries yes — especially for taught master’s programs — but funded PhD positions typically do not require deposits.
