Project Assistant in Cell and Virus Mechanics for Antiviral Development and Gene Therapy Vector Production

This fixed-term position is based at Lund University’s Biomedical Center within the Neurobiology Section at the Department of Experimental Medical Sciences. The role focuses on experimental studies of nuclear mechanics in cancer cells using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluorescence microscopy. Responsibilities include cell culture, AFM-based force and stiffness measurements, protocol optimization, and data analysis. The project contributes to antiviral development and improved production of gene therapy vectors, with opportunities for collaboration within a Nordic research network (HALRIC). The position is laboratory-based with standard working hours and some flexibility for experimental needs.
