cell line development PostDoc positions and fellowships

This postdoctoral fellowship in the Holford Laboratory at Harvard University focuses on developing novel molluscan cell lines and organoid systems to study cephalopod and conoidean venom glands and venom gene families. The fellow will establish long-term molluscan cell culture, optimize culture media, apply molecular and genomic techniques, utilize gene-editing approaches, and conduct imaging, transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional analyses. Collaboration across biology, engineering, and translational research is expected, along with mentoring graduate students and preparing manuscripts and grant applications.

The Holford Laboratory at Harvard University seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow to pioneer the development of novel molluscan cell lines and organoid systems for marine invertebrate biology, environmental adaptation, and biotechnology applications. The fellow will establish long-term molluscan cell culture, derive organoids from tissues and stem cells, and formulate specialized culture media. Using molecular, cellular, genomic, and gene-editing techniques, the fellow will characterize cell identity, differentiation, and function, while conducting imaging, transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional analyses. The role also involves collaboration across biology, engineering, and translational teams, mentoring graduate students and junior staff, and preparing manuscripts, presentations, and grant applications focused on cephalopod and conoidean venom glands and venom gene families.

The postdoctoral researcher will work in the field of precision immuno-oncology and biomarker development at Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, Netherlands. The position focuses on developing novel biomarkers and immunotherapeutic strategies for cancer treatment, utilizing cutting-edge technologies in genomics, proteomics, and immune monitoring. The successful candidate will contribute to interdisciplinary research projects, collaborate with clinical teams, and have access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. The role offers a competitive salary package including holiday allowance, end-of-year bonus, travel and home-working allowances, and opportunities for professional growth through training and development programs.

The University of Miami seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to conduct biomedical research in mitochondrial molecular biology, focusing on mitochondrial biogenesis and function in health and disease. The role involves designing experiments, publishing results, and preparing fellowship applications using human cell lines and yeast models.

The University of Arizona seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join Dr. Tatiana Kalin’s lab in the Department of Child Health. The position focuses on molecular mechanisms of tissue injury/repair and carcinogenesis, including endothelial cell and pericyte roles in lung regeneration and tumor microenvironment influences on cancer progression. The researcher will use animal models, human cell lines, nanoparticle delivery systems, and omics approaches, with opportunities for training, grant writing, and publication. The role is full‑time, salaried according to NIH guidelines, and includes comprehensive benefits and visa sponsorship.

This PhD position at the Netherlands Cancer Institute focuses on discovering tumor antigens and tumor‑reactive T‑cell receptors in renal cell carcinoma using the institute’s high‑throughput functional screening platform and single‑cell RNA sequencing. The candidate will work with patient samples from the NESCIO neoadjuvant clinical trial, generate TCR and antigen libraries, perform functional drop‑out screens, isolate tumor‑infiltrating lymphocytes, and evaluate their therapeutic potential. The project integrates translational immunology, bioinformatics, and clinical collaboration to advance personalized cancer vaccines and T‑cell‑based therapies.

The post‑doctoral position at CHU Sainte‑Justine invites candidates to work on immune‑cell‑specific synthetic promoters that enable precise transgene expression in targeted cell subsets. The project combines molecular biology, stem cell culture, protein‑partner identification, and preclinical testing in mice to develop a versatile promoter library for gene and cell therapy applications. Successful applicants will join a multidisciplinary team, gain access to cutting‑edge technologies, and lead a project with high translational impact.

A fixed-term (6‑month) Research Assistant/Research Associate position in the Khaled Lab at the University of Cambridge, focused on computational analysis of single‑cell and spatial transcriptomic data to understand and prevent hereditary breast cancer in BRCA1/2/PALB2 carriers.

The Postdoctoral Research Associate in Translational Myeloma Research at the University of Oxford will support the Oxford Translational Myeloma Centre’s portfolio of translational and pre‑clinical studies. The role focuses on generating next‑generation single‑cell and spatial transcriptomic, epigenomic and proteomic data, collecting biomarker samples, and performing computational analyses of the bone marrow microenvironment and stromal cell biology in myeloma. The postholder will work under the supervision of Professor Oppermann, collaborate with clinical, academic and industry partners, and contribute to multidisciplinary team meetings, trial clinics and service development for advanced therapies. This fixed‑term, part‑time (40% FTE) position offers a competitive NHS salary range, extensive benefits, and the opportunity to develop expertise in cutting‑edge haematology research.
