Pain is a common feature of various cancers. Cancer cells actively secrete factors that promote the neuronal infiltration of tumors. Inhibiting the electrical signals of tumor-infiltrating neurons can help decrease tumor growth, but the specific mechanisms through which neurons regulate cancer cell survival remain undetermined. Building on our recent findings published in Nature (2022, PMID: 36323780), the lab of Dr. Sébastien Talbot is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral fellow to study how tumor-innervating nociceptors—typically considered bystanders—control malignant cells' immune escape behaviors and their resistance to therapy.
We are looking for a candidate with:
To be qualified for employment as a postdoctoral fellow, you must have obtained a doctorate or have equivalent scientific competence within the last four years.

This must be substantiated by a statement from your main supervisor, director, or equivalent.
Desired Qualities
Scholarships for postdoctoral qualification can be established for foreign researchers who place their qualifications in Sweden. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent.
A scholarship for carrying out postdoctoral research can be granted for a maximum of two years within a four year period following the receipt of a doctoral degree or equivalent.
To be eligible for a postdoctoral scholarship, the person must have obtained a doctorate or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) start date of the post doctoral education.
The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish doctorate or higher.
Location: Biomedicum, Campus Solna.
The amount is tax free and it is set for twelve months at a time, paid out on a six months basis. In exceptional cases, shorter periods may be acceptable.
An application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:
The application is to be submitted on the Varbi recruitment system.
