The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 38 000 students and 6 000 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract scientists and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.

The Institute of Biomedicine is involved in both research and education. In both of these areas, we focus on fundamental knowledge of the living cell - what it consists of, how it works, how its function is directed by the genetic material, and how it interacts with various kinds of micro-organisms. Using this knowledge, we try to elucidate the causes of diseases, and find new ways to diagnose and treat them. The Institute is composed of the following four departments:

• The Department of Infectious Diseases
• The Department of Microbiology and Immunology
• The Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology
• The Department of Laboratory Medicine

At present, the institute has about 370 employees and approximately 400 million SEK in total assets.

A position as an Assistant researcher is available in Clausen laboratory at the Sahlgrenska Academy, Gothenburg University, Sweden. Dr. Clausen's research group is interested in elucidating the molecular mechanism of genome instability and DNA repair. In particular, we are interested in understanding how DNA lesions and mutations are generated and are being repaired on a genome-wide, strand specific scale at single nucleotide resolution level. The group will use interdisciplinary approaches to map and characterize ribonucleotide incorporation in DNA from yeast, mouse and human cells.
