Open Positions
Current vacancies in Lund Stem Cell Center Research Groups:
Doctoral student within Medical Science
The Cell, Tissue and Organ Engineering Research Group led by Dr. Paul Bourgine is seeking a doctoral student to join their team. The student'smain task will be to conduct their own research project, within the PhD project "Immuno-regulatory function of the human bone marrow niche."
Bone is a complex organ that provides structural and mechanical support for our body, but also serves as our main hematopoietic center. The formation of bone involves different phases, including cartilage, vascularization, bone and bone marrow establishment. The Bourgine laboratory aims to gather human-specific knowledge about these processes, with a view to the development of innovative regenerative therapies.
The work will involve specific cell cultures and laboratory tasks with distinct associated techniques to understand the regulatory role of the bone marrow. The position is full-time for 48 months with a proposed starting date set for March 1, 2025, or upon agreement.
Individuals from diverse or underrepresented backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Application Deadline: 07 February, 2025
Doctoral Student in Immune Oncology
The Targeted Therapies in Leukemia Group led by Associate Professor Marcus Järås is seeking a doctoral student to join their team.
Genetic damage to bone marrow blood stem cells can cause acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer associated with low survival. Research within the Järås laboratory aims to develop new targeted treatments that attack the leukemia stem cells in AML. To this end, they are working new approaches to target leukemia stem cells, including the use of CAR-macrophages.
The requirements for the position include: Documented experience in leukemia stem cell and CRISPR/Cas9 research; documented experience working on iron-related assays, CAR-macrophages, CD71 and advanced flow cytometry; as well as documented excellent oral and written communication in English and references from previous employers.
Individuals from diverse or underrepresented backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Application Deadline: 09 February, 2025
