About the Opportunity:

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at Karolinska Institutet, focusing on immunotherapy research in cancer treatment. As a key member of our team, you will contribute to cutting-edge research projects, developing and optimizing CAR T cell therapies for solid tumors.

Your primary responsibility will be to work on three distinct research projects, each with its unique objectives and challenges. Project 1 aims to further improve CAR T cell therapy by optimizing CAR T cell production, choice of T cell source/subset for CAR production, and CAR design improvements.
