Research Fellow in Cancer Research
The Genome Damage and Stability Centre, UK
Application Deadline: Thursday 14th August
Tyrosine fusion kinases resulting from chromosomal translocations, are found in haematological malignancies and solid tumours, driving uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. They subsequently serve as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for these cancers. You will join an MRC-funded project, to further understand mechanisms underlying the activation of cancer signalling pathways by tyrosine fusion kinases in Leukaemia, and their regulation by the HSP90 molecular chaperone system. You will test novel approaches to disrupt fusion kinase function, with the aim of identifying new therapeutic targets.
Assistant Professor in Cell and Molecular Biology
Karolinska Institutet, Sweden
Application Deadline: Tuesday 2nd September 2025
Karolinska Institutet (KI), one of the world’s foremost medical universities, is launching a major recruitment initiative in 2025. KI is seeking 20 outstanding early- career researchers to join us as Assistant Professors in a wide range of subject areas.
At KI, we foster a vibrant, international research environment where curiosity, innovation, and excellence thrive. We are looking for inspiring, driven, and visionary scientists with exceptional research achievements and the potential to become future leaders in their fields. If you meet our requirements and propose a groundbreaking research project, we are prepared to employ you as an Assistant Professor for six years and support you with a generous funding package of SEK 12 million to cover your salary and other research costs. KI offers the opportunity to be promoted from a time-limited (six-year) position as Assistant Professor to permanent employment as Senior Lecturer.
Assistant Professor in Cell and Molecular Biology
Full Professorship in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease
University of Vienna, Austria
Application Deadline: Wednesday 17th September 2025
The Max Perutz Labs—one of Europe’s leading institutes for basic research in the life sciences—invites applications for a Full Professorship in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease. We are seeking outstanding candidates to advance our mission of analyzing and reconstituting complex biological systems across scales, with a strong focus on their relevance to human disease.
We are particularly interested in–but not limited to–research focused on diseases associated with metabolic disorders, dysregulated cellular stress responses and quality control mechanisms, aberrant epigenetic regulation, RNA biology and chromosome organization, as well as host-pathogen interactions and immune dysfunction. Candidates should demonstrate an exceptional and internationally recognized track record in the mechanistic analysis of disease, and a research direction that is both original and innovative.
We welcome approaches that connect fundamental biological questions with cutting-edge technologies, such as organoids, in vitro disease models, and multiscale analysis platforms integrating experiment and (AI/ML-powered) computational modeling to uncover causality at the molecular level and system-level dysfunction. The successful candidate will join a vibrant, collaborative, and interdisciplinary environment that fosters scientific excellence and innovation.
Tenure-Track Professorship in Mechanistic Cell and Developmental Biology
University of Vienna, Austria
Application Deadline: Wednesday 17th September 2025
The Max Perutz Labs, one of Europe’s leading institutes for basic research in the life sciences, invites applications for a tenure-track group leader position. We are seeking exceptional candidates who will contribute in creative ways to the institute’s mission to analyze and reconstitute complex biological systems across different scales.
Candidates should have a proven track record in biology, biophysics, or computational science. Your research proposal should be original and innovative, ideally linking a fundamental biological question with new technological approaches. We welcome applications from all areas of the life sciences, but especially those in tissue-scale and developmental biology, chromatin, RNA and chromosome biology, and synthetic/computational methods (including AI/ML) that will address complex biological questions from a mechanistic angle.
