Open Positions

Current vacancies in Lund Stem Cell Center Research Groups:


Doctoral Student in Functional Genomics of Regeneration

The Regenerative Immunology lab, led by Associate Professor Nicholas Leigh, is currently looking for a driven PhD student who will lead the PhD project "Regulation and management of repeat laden genomes" and contribute to the group's other research projects. This project is focused on determining how salamanders, which have giant repeat-filled genomes, manage and potentially exploit these elements to accomplish complex tissue regeneration. The project will involve epigenetic regulation, functional genomics, and immune responses in regenerative tissue.

The lab which is based at the Biomedical Centre (BMC) at Lund University's Faculty of Medicine and is affiliated with the Wallenberg Center for Molecular Medicine, Lund Unviersity Cancer Centre, and Lund Stem Cell Center, values kindness, honesty, open-mindedness and strives to create an inclusive environment.
