About the job
Colorectal cancer, the third most common cancer, is a highly heterogeneous disease at both molecular and morphological levels. Its progression is shaped by complex interactions between tumor cells and the surrounding stromal and immune cells. Our research group focuses on three key areas: (1) identifying the factors that drive colorectal cancer heterogeneity, (2) uncovering the role of tumor-host interactions in disease progression, and (3) developing novel biomarkers to advance precision medicine.
As a doctoral researcher in our group, you will participate in the analysis of large colorectal cancer cohorts. You will apply techniques such as multiplex immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, spatial transcriptomics to uncover the molecular variations that drive tumor phenotypes in colorectal cancer. You will apply data analysis methods and bioinformatics analyses to analyze large-scale molecular data. The findings of the project could refine future tumor classification systems, aid in developing novel biomarkers, and enable more personalized treatment approaches.
The doctoral training will give you a strong background for future tissue-based research related to cancer biology, tumor immunology, and bioinformatics. It will offer rich opportunities for networking, mobility, and further career development after completing the PhD in three years.
What we offer?

to join our Breast Cancer Genetics team in Translational Medicine Research Unit, Faculty of Medicine and Biocenter Oulu at the University of Oulu.TheFaculty of Medicine, an integral part of the Kontinkangas Life Sciences Campus, is situated next to the University Hospital of Oulu. The campus is a unique combination of partners in research, education, health services and business.
About the job
A Postdoctoral Researcherposition is available in the Breast Cancer Genetics teamled by Professor Katri Pylkäs. The team aims to elucidate genetic risk factors for breast cancer, and to resolve the molecular mechanisms leading to breast cancer predisposition and subsequent malignant conversion. Large patient cohorts collected form the genetically isolated Northern Finnish population are used for genetic analysis with the latest genomic technologies. For functional analysis, various genomics and transcriptomics approaches are used and combined with gene editing, biochemical assays and cell culture-based disease modelling.
The research will be conducted at the Translational Medicine Research Unit, Faculty of Medicine. We have excellent molecular biology laboratories and instrumentation concerning the project’s needs.
As a Postdoctoral Researcher you will work on projects involving high-throughput genomics (whole-exome/genome sequencing, optical genome mapping, transcriptomics and long-read sequencing) and population genetics.
In these projects your responsibilities include molecular genetics laboratory work (wet lab), data analysis (bioinformatics and statistics), and participation in and supervision of laboratory work
You will be part of a multidisciplinary research group and participate in other group’s collaboration projects. You will also participate in supervision of group’s doctoral researchers
What we offer?
An exiting research project utilizing the state-of-the art genomic methods.
The support of an experienced and enthusiastic research team where you can share your expertise and grow as an expert.
Development and career options of the big organization.
We have a HR Excellence in Research -quality label which is a recognition awarded by the European Commission for the development of researchers’ working conditions and careers.
Finland is one of the most livable countries in the world, with a high quality of life, safety, excellent education system, and competitive economy. Read more about living in Oulu.
