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...

Den här postdoktorstjänsten vid Institutionen för skogens ekologi och skötsel vid Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) i Umeå fokuserar på hur organiskt kväve i växter styrs om från ren tillväxtmetabolism till signalering som påverkar utveckling och stresstolerans. Projektet undersöker kopplingarna mellan metabolism av organiskt kväve, metabolisk reglering och nedströms signalkaskader, samt hur dessa processer hänger samman med växters svar på både abiotisk och biotisk stress. Arbetet kombinerar ...

Not sure which position is right for you?

Your Twin reads your CV, searches every position by meaning, not keywords, and learns what you want as you apply. Ask it anything about your application.

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.
