Here, approximately 46,000 students and 8,500 employees work in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malm\u00f6. We are united in our effort to understand, explain, and improve our world and people's conditions.\nDescription of the workplaceThe overarching goal of our research is to promote precision medicine by improving prognosis and treatment selection for cancer patients through the development of new prognostic and treatment-predictive biomarkers, and by clarifying tumor biology to better understand mechanisms behind treatment resistance and identify new therapeutic targets. To achieve this, we use state-of-the-art technology for molecular tumor analysis with both solid tissue samples and blood-based liquid biopsies from unique and well-characterized clinical cohorts. Our research integrates advanced liquid biopsy methods, including analysis of circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA, with extensive tissue-based profiling methods such as gene expression analysis, DNA sequencing, single-cell sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics. These high-dimensional data are analyzed using advanced bioinformatic and biostatistic methods.\nThe research group is now recruiting a full-time PhD student (100%) with a start date of November 1, 2026 (or by agreement).\nTasks and responsibilitiesAs a PhD student, you will, under supervision, be responsible for initiating, conducting, and completing research projects within cancer precision medicine. Your tasks will specifically include:\nAdvanced data analysis, including development of software infrastructure to optimize data workflows.\nDevelopment of analytical methods to integrate different types of sequencing-based DNA data.\nDevelopment of computational models for prognosis and treatment prediction.\nIntegration of different types of spatial single-cell data, such as gene expression and protein expression data.\nDevelopment of image analysis methods for histopathological samples using AI-based models.\n\nAs a PhD student, you will also, under supervision:\nContribute to various aspects of the scientific publication process.\nPresent scientific results in various forums.\nApply for research funding.\n\nAdditional tasks related to the position may occur.\nWe offer\nLund University is a state agency, which means you will receive special benefits, generous vacation, and a favorable occupational pension. We also have a flexible working time agreement that creates good conditions for balance between work and leisure.

As the holder of the position, only those admitted to education at the research level may be appointed. In filling the position, primary consideration shall be given to the degree of ability to benefit from doctoral education. In addition to the obligation to pursue doctoral education, the holder may be required to perform work related to education, research, and administrative work according to special provisions in the regulation.\nTerms\nFixed-term employment for four years according to HF 5 chapter 7 \u00a7.\nHow to apply\nThe position is advertised through the university's recruitment system. The application should contain a personal letter in which you describe how you meet the qualification requirements and why you are interested in the position. The application should also include a CV and diploma, as well as anything else you wish to submit. At least two references with complete contact information.\nThe Faculty of Medicine is an operational area within Lund University, responsible for education and research in medicine, care, and health. Education takes place in close collaboration with healthcare and is well-anchored in the faculty's strong research tradition.\nWe decline all contacts from advertising sales representatives, recruitment and staffing companies due to government procurement regulations.","language":"sv","is_translated":true,"title_original":"Doktorand inom Br\u00f6st och Prostatacancerbehandling","description_original":"Lunds universitet grundades 1666 och rankas \u00e5terkommande som ett av v\u00e4rldens fr\u00e4msta l\u00e4ros\u00e4ten.
