The postdoctoral researcher will be working in a multidisciplinary research group to study novel aspects of immunometabolism, tumor-immune cell interactions at the primary tumor and systemic sites in pancreatic cancer. Our state-of-the art research program utilizes molecular biology and immunology techniques along with multi-omics approaches, including sc-RNA-seq, bulk RNAseq, epigenomics, metabolomics, proteomics, CRISPR screens and genetically engineered mouse models and organoid models of pancreatic cancer.
The ideal candidate should possess a Ph.D or M.D./Ph.D in the field of Immunology/ Molecular Biology/ and Cancer Biology with expertise in flow cytometry, cell-based assays, and/or animal studies. For more detail, please refer to our recent articles (Cancer Discovery, 2024, Molecular Cancer, 2026, Nature Cell Biology, 2024, Oncogene. 2022, Trends Immunol. 2022, Gastroenterology 2021, JEM 2020). The Mehla Lab offers a friendly, supportive, and collaborative environment with great excitement for cancer research. Our future research objectives include, but are not limited to, cell-based therapeutics.

Some positions — especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland — are filled by writing directly to the supervisor rather than through an online form. These addresses were taken from the advert text, so check them against the official listing before you write.
A cold email to a supervisor is the highest-leverage thing you can send — and the easiest to get wrong. Ask us to look at yours before you hit send.
