PhD in Molecular Biology/Medicine

The Department of Medical Biosciences at Umeå University is offering a postdoctoral scholarship within the project “Developing computational tools for large-scale human intracellular signaling models”. The scholarship is full-time for 2 years, with access starting in May 2026 or by agreement. The research will be carried out in the laboratory of Cemal Erdem at the Department of Medical Biosciences, Umeå, Sweden. The project focuses on developing the SPARCED pipeline to convert structured lists into SBML model files, enabling even larger-scale model construction, training personalized computational models in new contexts, and studying in-silico clinical intervention strategies. The work involves large-scale cancer signaling models, high-performance and cloud computing, and simulation of single-cell trajectories.
