Offer DescriptionIntroduction to the vacant position:The Spatial Biotechnology Group is looking for a talented and highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to work at the interface between experimental and computational biology, building automated, closed-loop workflows. The position is part of our effort to understand how cells spatially organize to drive solid tumor development,



and it brings together three fast-moving fronts: spatial proteomics, lineage tracing technologies, and laboratory automation. The successful candidate will design and execute robot-driven experiments and will analyze the resulting spatial data, closing the loop between experimental design, automated execution and data-driven decisions about what to run next. This is an opportunity for a hybrid scientist who wants to help define how a self-driving biology laboratory works.
Main tasks and responsibilities:
- Design, build and validate automated liquid-handling workflows on an Opentrons Flex platform (Python API).
- Establish and run spatial proteomics on in vitro co-cultures, engineered 3D tumor models and tissue sections.
- Implement clonal barcoding and lineage tracing readouts, including in situ detection and debarcoding of individual clones.
- Scale perturbation experiments to high-throughput formats, integ
