The division of Translational Cancer Research is a part of Lund University Medical Faculty and involved in high quality basic and translational cancer research. We offer creative and encouraging working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. The division includes modern laboratory facilities and a number of core facilities shared by twelve research groups. We have weekly journal clubs, data clubs, weekly seminars and seminars with invited speakers.
The division of translational cancer research is looking for a skillful, ambitious and highly motivated postdoctoral fellow. The major aims include investigation of the mechanisms of therapy resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and identification of novel targets for therapy. The project also involves the identification of novel signaling proteins which mediate the drug-resistant phenotype and studies on their roles in both leukemia and in normal blood cells using different cell biological tools. The cell biological findings will eventually be complemented with studies with patient-derived xenografts and mouse models.
Qualifications: We expect the applicant to be a highly motivated and highly ambitious scientist with a PhD in Natural Science with one or several of the following skills.
• Biochemical studies involving mouse models.
• Bioinformatics studies involving data mining and large-scale mRNA data analysis.
• Mass spectroscopic studies involving protein phosphorylation analysis.
