PhD positions / Postdoc positions (m/f/d) in Cancer Biology and/or Bioinformatics

We study the molecular basis of cancer through an integrated approach spanning genomics, molecular biology and computational biology, thereby aiming to better understand how cancers arise, spread or resist to therapy. See examples in: Nature 2018 Feb 1;554(7690):62, Cancer Cell . 2023 Jul 10;41(7):1327; Nature Methods . 2024 Apr;21(4):584. Nature . 2026 Feb 25. doi: 10.1038/s41586-026-10187-2. By developing and applying genetic technologies for high-throughput applications in cells and mice, including CRISPR or transposon tools for massively parallel screening, we create and integrate multi-dimensional data to interrogate biological systems in their full complexity. Our team brings together cancer biologists, molecular geneticists, bioinformaticians, and clinicians who collaborate closely in a creative, multidisciplinary environment.

We offer positions in the research areas:
Non-coding RNA biology
Genomic technology development
Cell fate transitions in development and cancer
Molecular mechanisms of cancer metastasis
Computational large-scale data integration
The initial contract is for 12 months, with the possibility of extension.

Strong background in molecular and cellular biology or computational biology
