We
are looking for a candidate who will join our efforts to
decipher the
molecular events that lead to transformation as well as therapy
resistance of stem cells in blood malignancies. The successful
candidate will join a dynamic and multidisciplinary environment
at
the interface between the cancer and stem cell fields, molecular
genetics and bioinformatics and assist with the design,
analysis, and
interpretation of generated data. While closely collaborating
with
colleagues in the lab, the candidate is at the same time
expected to
drive his/her own research project.</font></p>

Lund
University is ranked as one of the top 100 universities in the
world.
The ‘Stem Cells and Leukemia group’, located at the Division of
Molecular Hematology, Lund University, focuses on the blood
forming
stem cells in health and disease.

Using
primary patient material and high-throughput methods, our aim
is to decipher the master regulatory switches responsible for
cell
identity, function, and state. Together, our work allows for
deeper
knowledge of events leading to transformation, therapy
resistance,
and rational targeting of leukemia. </font>
