瑞典卡罗林斯卡学院细胞生物物理学博士后

Postdoctoral Researcher in Cellular Biophysics

We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral candidate that will work on biophysical principles underlying health and disease.

The project will be performed at the Cell Signalling, Immunity and Nanoimaging (CSI:Nano) Lab, located at SciLifeLab and Karolinska Institute. SciLifeLab and KI are excellent places to carry out basic biomedical research with clinical potential. Our lab is in the intersection of biology, chemistry, physics and engineering, aiming to reveal the molecular secrets of physiology and diseases. The candidate will greatly benefit from this interdisciplinary environment and unique infrastructure.

This position is initially for 2 years full-time employment with possible extension.

The proposed project will be performed in close collaboration with PetterBrodin's lab.

Application Deadline: 6 January 2021

Interview Date of Shortlisted candidates: 12 January 2021

Start Date: March/April 2021 (to be discussed)

Your mission

The postdoctoral fellow will build tools to measure the biophysical properties of healthy and disease cells in a high-throughput manner to reveal the biophysical principles potentially underlying different diseases.

The project involves:

building a new setup as well as using existing technologies (advanced fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy, FACS)

developing data analysis tools for these techniques

using AI tools for data analysis

handling human cells from healthy and disease donors

work in close collaboration with the other CSI:Nano lab members as well as other labs at SciLifeLab and KI

Your profile

Qualified to be employed as a postdoctoral fellow is one who has obtained a doctorate or has equivalent scientific competence. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) date of employment. This must be substantiated by the applicant's main supervisor, director or equivalent.

Essential:

BSc in life or natural sciences (biology, molecular biology, physics, chemistry or similar)

PhD in areas biophysics, biochemistry or related field

Expertise in Flow Cytometry technology and data analysis

Strong expertise in biophysics, bioimaging and membrane biology

Proficiency in basic cell and molecular biology techniques

Moreover, independent working skills, teamwork spirit and willingness to help PhD/master students are needed.

Desired:

Expertise in optics is an advantage but not essential

Expertise in scientific programming is an advantage but not essential
