PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Cancer Research in Sweden

This postdoctoral project sits at the interface of organic synthesis and chemical biology, with a clear biomedical orientation toward anticancer research. The recruited researcher will help develop polyazamacrocyclic compounds as ligands for non-canonical nucleic acid structures , especially DNA three-way junctions , and then functionalize these molecules for chemical-biology applications. The position involves hands-on organic synthesis and molecular characterization , together with participati...

This postdoctoral project at CNRS in Dijon focuses on the synthesis of DNA and RNA ligands designed for cancer-related applications. The researcher will work on the preparation and characterization of complex chemical molecules, study ligand/target interactions, investigate photophysical properties, and carry out preliminary biological evaluation. The position is embedded in a funded ANR project linking laboratories in Dijon, Toulouse, and Paris, offering a collaborative interdisciplinary enviro...

Radiation Oncology Research Associate at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in the United States. This research-focused role is situated within the field of radiation oncology and cancer research, with work likely connected to the development and evaluation of approaches for treating cancer with radiation. The position offers an opportunity to contribute to a medical research environment focused on oncology and radiation-related investigation....

The Crick-PACE Postdoctoral Fellowship is a competitive four-year programme offered by The Francis Crick Institute in collaboration with King’s College London, University College London and Imperial College London. The fellowship supports outstanding postdoctoral researchers developing innovative, collaborative projects between a Crick-based research group and a research group at one of the partner universities. Projects are designed to cross disciplinary boundaries and benefit from the compleme...

PhD project in neutrophil plasticity and immune-cell reprogramming This PhD opportunity is part of the newly funded REG-HUB project, which asks how immune cells can be reprogrammed to change their responses to cancer and infection. The research will focus on how neutrophils acquire distinct functional identities and how these cellular programs can be manipulated to reshape immune responses. The doctoral researcher will investigate the molecular mechanisms controlling neutrophil plasticity and fu...

This fully funded PhD studentship is based at the CRUK Scotland Centre and the University of Glasgow , with research focused on colorectal cancer biology, tumour-cell plasticity and metastasis. The project, titled “Restraining colorectal cancer cell plasticity by driving tumour cells towards a stable, terminally differentiated state,” builds on the research team’s findings that loss of ATRX drives multilineage plasticity and metastatic behaviour. The doctoral researcher will investigate how canc...

This PhD opportunity is hosted by the Innate Immune Response & Tumour Immunology group at the IdiPAZ Institute of Biomedical Research within La Paz Hospital in Madrid, Spain. The doctoral thesis will focus on basic and translational research into how cancers evade immune surveillance, generate metastases, and interact with the immune system. The laboratory works particularly on colorectal cancer and melanoma , providing a research setting that connects tumour biology, immunology, and clinically ...

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...

McGill University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher and PhD/Master’s students to join Sina Kheiri’s translational oncology laboratory and collaborate with surgeons and clinicians in the Division of Thoracic Surgery at the Research Institute of the MUHC (RI-MUHC). The lab develops human tissue models and microphysiological systems to investigate cancer development and treatment. The research environment connects bioengineering and cancer biology with clinical expertise, enabling projects th...
