Doctoral Student in Cell and Molecular Biology Research
Join KTH to pursue interdisciplinary doctoral research in biological physics combining wet-lab experiments with automated and AI-driven analysis.
Best for:Best for life science graduates with practical experimental wet-lab experience and an interest in interdisciplinary AI-driven cell biology.
Overview
The AICell Lab within the Department of Applied Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Science for Life Laboratory in Sweden invites applications for two doctoral positions in cell and molecular biology. Successful candidates will investigate biological physics by merging experimental cell biology with automated platforms and computational analysis tools. Projects are designed collaboratively based on the student's research interests while contributing to wider scientific advancements. The positions offer full-time salaried employment for up to four years, incorporating research alongside limited departmental tasks.
What you'll do
- Design and execute experimental cell biology protocols including cell culture, perturbation assays, and advanced microscopy.
- Analyze experimental outcomes biologically to drive primary research questions forward.
- Collaborate closely with team members specializing in automation, computation, and AI-driven data analysis.
- Contribute actively to research publications and engage in the broader scientific dialogue within cell and molecular biology.
