Two postdoctoral stipends

in Tissue Physiology and AI-Driven Genomics in Diabetes

Employer

University of Gothenburg

Location

Gothenburg (Stad), Västra Götaland (SE)

Salary

Tax-exempt scholarship

Closing date

23 May 2025

The Camunas-Soler lab is opening scholarships for two Postdoctoral Research Fellows to join our interdisciplinary research team (www.camunaslab.org). These positions are part of a broader program to integrate functional measurements from live human pancreatic tissue with multiomic measurements to identify key factors driving diabetes. To achieve this, we are employing a broad array of experimental and computational tools, and are currently recruiting for the following roles:

Position 1: AI and data science approaches applied to genomics and spatial omics

Position 2: Experimental islet and pancreatic slice physiology using imaging and functional assays

The group is part of SciLifeLab and the Wallenberg Center of Molecular and Translational Medicine (WCMTM), and maintains an active network of international collaborators. As a member of the lab, you will join an international and dynamic team of experimental and computational biologists, and gain access to additional training and networking opportunities through the WCMTM and SciLifeLab.

The University of Gothenburg tackles society’s challenges with diverse knowledge. 56,000 students and 6,600 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. The lab is located on the Institute of Biomedicine, providing close collaboration with clinical groups in Sahlgrenska University Hospital. This creates a unique environment to develop new quantitative tools to study human tissue in a clinically relevant context.

Gothenburg is quickly becoming a hub for life sciences in the Nordics, with a strong focus on research and innovation. The region is home to Scandinavia’s largest university hospital and one of AstraZeneca’s three globally strategic R&D centres. New initiatives such as the GoCo Health Innovation City and BioVentureHub are creating a world-class innovation cluster for the life sciences.

Position 1 – Postdoctoral Fellow in AI and Data Science for Spatial Genomics in Diabetes

This position centers on the development and application of machine learning, image analysis, and integrative omics approaches to spatial transcriptomics and genomics datasets. The goal is to identify molecular and spatial signatures of disease progression both in human samples and in experimental models of diabetes.

Qualifications:

PhD in bioinformatics, physics, statistics, computer science, computational biology, or related fields.

Experience programming in Python (or R) as well as bash/shell scripting.

Experience with machine-learning and deep learning packages (e.g. PyTorch, Keras)

Experience with HPC and scientific workflow management tools (e.g. Nextflow, Snakemake)

Experience with single-cell data analysis (e.g scanpy, scvi), and/or spatial omics is an advantage

Motivation, creativity and interest in working with a highly interdisciplinary team using state-of-the-art technologies.

Fluency in English, and ability to work independently and in a team

🔬 Position 2 – Postdoctoral Fellow in Pancreatic Slice Physiology

This position will focus on experimental research using live pancreatic tissue slices and human islets to investigate cellular and microenvironmental mechanisms involved in diabetes progression. The candidate will employ advanced imaging, electrophysiology, and pharmacological perturbations to dissect islet cell function in situ in human pancreatic slices and mouse models of diabetes.

Qualifications:

PhD in life sciences, physiology, cell biology, biomedical sciences, or related fields

Experience with tissue slice techniques (acute slicing and/or cryosectioning) is highly valued

Experience with live tissue imaging and calcium imaging is highly valued

Experience with islet physiology techniques, including islet isolation, immunohistochemistry and ELISA is an advantage

Experience with molecular biology techniques (RNA extraction, qPCR, library prep), especially applied to single-cell methods

Motivation, creativity and interest in working with a highly interdisciplinary team using state-of-the-art technologies.

Fluency in English, and ability to work independently and in a team

🤝 We Offer:

An interdisciplinary and international research environment

Access to state-of-the-art equipment for genomics and advanced microscopy

Access to training and networking activities through SciLifeLab and WCMTM

An active local environment in metabolism and diabetes, including collaborations with the Rorsman and Rosengren labs

Access to unique human tissue samples from multiple sites across Europe and Canada

Opportunities for collaboration with Sahlgrenska University Hospital and AstraZeneca
