One fully funded PhD position (3 years) in mathematical modelling of immunotherapies of hematologic malignancies is available in the group of Dr. Peter Rashkov at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The position is funded through the Marie Sklodowska Curie Doctoral Network ACHILLES, which brings together a broad spectrum of expertise, including basic research to identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets, mathematical and computational modeling to predict disease progression and therapy response, the design and validation of innovative therapies, and their preclinical and clinical evaluation. This rich environment will provide ACHILLES Doctoral Candidates (DCs) with a comprehensive understanding of the full translational pathway, from fundamental discoveries to the development of new therapeutic strategies and diagnostic tools that directly benefit patients with leukemia and lymphoma.

ACHILLES will train a new generation of leaders in the critical field of hematooncology by providing comprehensive knowledge and skills to translate fundamental discoveries into innovative therapeutic strategies and diagnostic tools. Through this integrated approach, the programme will equip its trainees to drive advances that directly impact the treatment and management of leukemia and lymphoma patients.

Further details on the doctoral project and the recruitment process are available on the network's website https://achilles-dn.eu. The project description for this particular PhD position is listed under the label DC1.

The application should be done online only via the website mentioned.

Application deadline: February 28, 2026.
