| Eligibility/Qualification | Master’s degree in biomedicine, molecular biology, cell biology, or bioinformatics |
| Application Deadline | April 20, 2026 |
Research Area
The Pedro Moura team is investigating:
- Expansion efficiency of mutant hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) vs. healthy HSC
- Restoration of production or function of differentiated myeloid lineage cells
- Immune system’s failure to clear mutant cells
Eligibility/Qualification
General Requirements
- Master’s qualification (second-cycle/advanced).
- 240 credits with at least 60 at advanced level.
- Equivalent knowledge from international institutions.
Specific Requirements
- Proficiency in English: Equivalent to English B/English 6 at Swedish upper secondary school.
Description
The doctoral project will focus on the role of post-transcriptional gene regulation (PTGR) mechanisms in malignancy and hematopoiesis. The candidate will engage in mechanistic studies using advanced gene editing technologies and high-throughput omics methodologies to investigate the pathogenesis of myeloid neoplasms.
Skills and Personal Qualities
Required:
- Strong academic background in relevant disciplines.
- Hands-on experience with gene editing (CRISPR-Cas9, siRNA), flow cytometry, and high-throughput omics.
Desirable:
- Experience in bioinformatics and programming (R, Python).
How to Apply
Applications should be submitted through the Varbi recruitment system. Required documents include:
- Personal letter
- Curriculum vitae
- Documentation of degree projects
- Certificates confirming eligibility
