cardiac organoids PostDoc positions and fellowships

The postdoc will join the Computational Systems Biology group at the University of Salzburg to work within the EpiFlaMe consortium, integrating single-cell/spatial multi-omics data with biological knowledge using AI/ML to map epithelial inflammatory memory and its link to cancer, aiming for a flagship publication.

A PhD project at the University of Dundee's MRC PPU aims to inhibit colorectal cancer via targeted degradation of FAM83F-CK1a/G-CK1a complexes using techniques like CRISPR/Cas9, Cryo-EM, and drug development. The project collaborates with major pharmaceutical companies and focuses on developing PROTAC-based therapies against WNT hyperactivation.

This postdoctoral position at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań focuses on studying pancreatic organoids derived from type 2 diabetes patients using multi‑omics approaches. The researcher will differentiate human stem cells into pancreatic beta cells, apply CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, and perform single‑cell RNA sequencing, proteomics, lipidomics, functional assays, and microscopic imaging. The project, funded by the National Science Center’s OPUS program, collaborates with groups in Helsinki and aims to advance cell and gene therapies for diabetes.

This GSK-funded PhD studentship at the University of Cambridge focuses on immune ageing within the CG-AGE collaboration between the Department of Medicine and GlaxoSmithKline. Candidates will investigate immune trajectories in an ageing population using multi-omic single cell methods, immune organoid models, and machine learning/AI approaches to understand vaccine protection and clinical outcomes. The four-year project includes optional six-month sabbaticals, extensive training, and supervision by Professor Eoin McKinney and affiliated investigators.

The Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) in Barcelona seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to investigate how chronic stress and antiphospholipid autoantibodies jointly disrupt trophoblast function and uterine immune regulation, leading to defective placentation and preeclampsia. The project uses cutting‑edge human trophoblast organoid models, multi‑omics profiling, and a preclinical mouse model to uncover pathogenic mechanisms. The fellow will work under the supervision of Prof. Francesc Miró Mur within the Systemic Autoimmune Diseases Research Group, gaining access to state‑of‑the‑art facilities such as spectral flow cytometry, spatial transcriptomics, and proteomics platforms. The position is fully funded by the Horizon Europe MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship programme for 12–24 months, offering competitive living and research allowances, mobility support, and extensive training in competitive grant writing, interdisciplinary collaboration, and clinical‑basic science integration.

This postdoctoral position at INSERM U1068 in Marseille focuses on validating extracellular vesicles-based biomarkers to predict which pancreatic cancer patients are eligible for surgical resection or FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. The successful candidate will manage a project involving the production and extraction of extracellular vesicles, organoid cell culture, data analysis, and reporting. Strong expertise in pancreatic cancer biology, extracellular vesicles, and fluent English is required. The role offers a full-time, temporary contract starting September 1, 2026, with an application deadline of June 30, 2026.

This doctoral fellowship investigates peripheral immune imprinting of brain immunity using human-relevant cerebral organoid models. The project combines single-cell resolved omics and in toto imaging to dissect how peripheral inputs reshape macrophage/microglial identity, alter synaptic function, and modulate amyloid pathology. Candidates will work in a multidisciplinary team at the University of Antwerp and UCB Pharma, gaining expertise in iPSC culture, genome engineering, advanced microscopy, and neuroimmunology.

The Advanced Biomedical Instrumentation Centre (ABIC), a joint initiative of The University of Hong Kong and Harvard University, invites applications for a Post-doctoral Fellow to work on cutting‑edge biomedical instrumentation projects. The role involves research in microfluidics, diagnostic tool design, fluid dynamics, and translational development of organoid‑based testing systems. Candidates will collaborate with engineers, scientists, and clinicians to advance next‑generation low‑cost healthcare technologies for Asian patients and global markets.

The Ohio State University seeks a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to join the Thege Laboratory in the Division of Surgical Oncology. The position focuses on developing rational drug combinations for KRAS‑mutant pancreatic and lung cancers, using patient‑derived organoids, genetically engineered mouse models, CRISPR activation screens, and multi‑omic profiling (scRNA‑seq, spatial transcriptomics, bulk RNA‑seq) to uncover therapeutic vulnerabilities and resistance mechanisms.

This PhD position at the University of Barcelona focuses on developing innovative human-based in vitro and in silico brain models within the Horizon Europe MSCA VISI-ON-BRAIN doctoral network, investigating scaffold geometry and cell reprogramming effects on cortical progenitor proliferation, neuronal migration, and neurodevelopmental disorder models, and will enrol in the PhD programme while collaborating with international partners.
