The Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel is seeking highly motivated candidates for PhD and Postdoc positions starting in June 2025. These positions focus on researching the molecular and cellular mechanisms of breast tumor dormancy, particularly the interactions within the tumor microenvironment.
PhD & Postdoc Positions in Mechanisms of Tumor Dormancy
Designation
- PhD Position
- Postdoc Position
Research Area
- Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Tumor Dormancy
- Cancer Metastasis
