Open Positions
Current vacancies in Lund Stem Cell Center Research Groups:
Postdoctoral position in Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Biology
The Bone Marrow Stromal (Stem) Cells and Cellular Therapy Research Group led by Prof. Stefan Scheding is seeking a curious and driven candidate with an interest in:
- Human bone marrow stromal cell biology
- Stromal cells in bone marrow malignancies
- Advanced stem cell research technologies
Bone marrow stromal cells play a key role in regulating normal and diseased hematopoiesis. As a stroma (patho)biology postdoc in the group, you will investigate the role of human bone marrow stromal stem cells in hematopoietic malignancies with focus on fibrotic states. This entails profiling the stromal cell compartment of humanized bone marrow tissues and primary patient materials. Stroma cell profiling will include phenotypic, transcriptomic and proteomic profiling as well as functional studies using xenotransplantation models.
This is a fully funded 2-year postdoc fellowship with starting date in December 2024 or according to agreement. Candidates must hold a PhD acquired within three years of the application deadline or show proof of imminent PhD degree completion by the agreed start date.
Individuals from diverse or underrepresented backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
